I have been running the Norfolk Crucian Project since 2008. We have genuinely saved this fish species from extinction in the wild in Norfolk & have benefitted many other species (& people!) along the way. We think we have increased #crucian carp distribution by >40-50%. But onwards & upwards!!!
#Crucians26 saw us find 2 new wild #crucian carp populations as well as proving 3 more successful (surviving & recruiting) reintroductions. Thanks so much to a truly brilliant team. We are winning the battle to save the crucian carp in the #ponds of Norfolk, eastern England!
Another day searching for #crucian carp in Norfolk #ponds & small lakes. SUCCESS!!! One new unknown population found. #crucians2016
Return of the #Crucian carp. We started our Norfolk Crucian Project back in 2008. We are saving this rare European #pond fish species from extinction in the wild #crucians2026 @fishtwitcher.bsky.social @anglingtrust.bsky.social @caughtbytheriver.bsky.social @anglingtimes.bsky.social
Great Crested #Newt & #Crucian Carp co-exist & thrive together in English farmland #ponds. Must write a paper on it!
What eats what? One thing is certain tho! #Crucian carp & Great Crested #Newt live, breed & recruit together, in harmony, in small #ponds, especially plant-filled ones #crucians2026
Will we catch #crucian carp in this deep & mysterious ancient woodland edge #pond tomorrow? The nets are in tonight #crucians2026
We had this little Sayer family member as a helper today. The future of conservation relies on young people seeing & feeling nature. Especially #crucian carp obviously #crucians2026
We caught this large & beautiful #crucian carp today from a large #pond. As you tilt these fish the changing light highlights greens, & bronze but overwhelmingly gold. Surely Britain's most beautiful fish? #crucians2026
The Norfolk #Crucian Carp project has been running since 2008. #Crucians are declining throughout their European range including in England. Only in Norfolk is the species on the up. Since its start the project has increased its distribution by a massive 40% @fishtwitcher.bsky.social #crucians2026
Searching for the rare #crucian carp.
Tonight our nets are in this old restored farmyard #pond in North Norfolk, eastern England.
Will we catch in the morning? Watch this space #crucians2026
Saving the rare #crucian carp in Norfolk, eastern England. For the next 7 days we will be searching for crucians in Norfolk's farm #ponds. We will also be checking the success of recent stockings.
Yes its #crucians2026 @fishtwitcher.bsky.social
Crucian nets are out in one of Norfolk's highest ponds tonight. We stocked this pond >10 yrs ago & are monitoring its #crucian carp population. Hoping for a great catch even though its going to be a cold night. #crucians2026
Yo! I'm not dead or abandoned my account, I just forget to post. Heh. I rarely draw in digital these days, so expect a lot of paper. I also have hyperfixation on Forsaken

A week surveying & stocking #crucian carp in Norfolk ponds just completed. An incredible team & fish @uclgeography.bsky.social @fishtwitcher.bsky.social
Searching for Gold. A brill film by @fishtwitcher.bsky.social which follows our @uclgeography.bsky.social & Norfolk Ponds Project #crucian carp conservation project. Some great characters in this film & the best day of crucian week last April. Thanks so much Jack!
If anyone can come up with a more beautiful fish than this one I would love to see it!!! I give you...The #Crucian Carp Carassius carassius. Down-trodden by the conservation world in the UK & worthy of more love & attention.
