Troot in the Shed 2014 update

Hi everybody,

Just a quick update on Troot in the Shed 2014 so far:

  • Stromness Primary: The alevins were successfuly released in the Mill Burn last week.
  • Sanday School:  The alevins are very healthy and have suffered virtually no loss. The release date in Bea Loch is for 17/03.
  • Stronsay School:  Same situation as on Sanday with a release in the Meikle Water planned for 12/03.
  • St. Andrews Primary:  There isn’t much left of the alevins’ yolk-sacs and they should be swimming freely in the Burn of Quoykea by 13/03…
  • Papdale Halls of Residence: I’ve just received an update from Mr. Cuddihy and their alevins are doing very well but still have a substantial yolk sac, so the release into the Wideford Burn is probably still a couple of weeks away.
  • North Walls School: The alevins are healthy and well looked after – Thanks, Olivia, for letting us know!;-)
  • Dounby Primary: The release in the Burn of Hourston is scheduled for week starting 13/03.

All these dates, subject to the whims of the Orcadian weather of course…

We’ll keep you posted on the future developments…

Mr P.
