They also explained that the Kingfisher sighting shows that juvenile fish populations are of significant numbers as a food source. So it's all good news.They did, however, explain that there are no recent eel records for the river and that the status and decline, nationally, of our eel 'Anguilla anguilla' is of major concern in the conservation/ecology' world.</blockquote>
