Today we had a visit from Jack Wootton from Galloway Fisheries Trust with some real live Sparling! Our Primary 5 Class and Eco Group were very pleased to see the fish first hand. Jack was able to bring the pupils out in small groups to look at the fish close up in\u00a0a bucket\u00a0and he also lifted them out of the water briefly to see them from a side view. It was interesting to se how they were camouflaged from the top and that the female fish was bigger than the male due to the huge number of eggs which she carries. We heard more about the project being undertaken by Jack and he told us about the numbers of Sparling he had just recently found in the Cree River.\u00a0We\u00a0also\u00a0got more\u00a0of an understanding about how important this project is for Scotland. Today,\u00a0a camera man came to film Jack talking to us. The footage will be used in a documentary\u00a0highlighting the importance of the project and will be shared amongst wildlife experts at\u00a0conferences\u00a0and for use in further research\u00a0work as a reference tool. Jack was very impressed with the amount of information Mrs Dyson’s Primary 5 class had retained from\u00a0his last\u00a0visit and with the sheer number of relevant questions the pupils were coming up with. Lots of hands kept going up, eager to know more!<\/p>\n
