For the third consecutive year, the Stronsay School are running their mini-hatchery. I bet Arna and Wilma, our cordon-bleu school cooks whose freezer shed is shared with our ova, wouldn’t mind a couple of trout to spice up school dinners but unfortunately, they never get the chance to see them grow big enough…

When it comes to looking after the ova, the Stronsay school is “a well oiled machine”!  and Steve, our janitor, takes the younger pupils at every break to remove casualties and monitor water quality, temperature, etc… and the older pupils keep a watchful eye and are ready to swing into action in case things don’t go according to plan! Since last Thursday, when the eggs were delivered, only 4 dead eggs have had to be removed.

Keep up the good work up there!
