Sadly, a high incidence of the Microsporidian parasite, Glugea anomala among the Three-spined Sticklebacks in the Black Bourn & met this feisty little #invasivealien Signal Crayfish at the ford, along with a dead one further down. #Chalkstreams #FakenhamMagna #Suffolk #fish 4/5

The Black Bourn chalk stream is running clear, full & brisk towards the Little Ouse, quite choked with old Bur-reed in places, plentiful new growth of Yellow Water-lily leaves in others. #chalkstream #FakenhamMagna #Suffolk #wildflowerhour #naturelovers 2/5
