Ova “eyeing up” on Stronsay!

The Stronsay ova "eyeing up" (03/02/2012)

The Stronsay ova have made very good progress this week and we can clearly see the eyes developing (look at the egg in the middle!). The hatching conditions in the Stronsay shed are near ideal with a water temperature around 9ºC and  total darkness. There has been very few losses so far and let’s hope it lasts!

Well done to all the pupils on the rota who check the tank every break-time.

  1. That’s ok for making the mistake Kacey – the Stronsay eggs are very similar to the Sanday ones… I don’t think I could tell the difference myself 😉 !
