Wed afternoon – by Katie (with scientific editing in brackets by Miss Millins)
This afternoon we visited a stream around the Orielton estate; we carried out an experiment at two sites on the stream to see the differing bugs (invertebrates) we could find. It was fun! J
We were searching for and observing freshwater invertebrates. Upon reflection, we’re unsure which were unluckier…the sheer number of disgusting (fascinating) creep-crawlies (including leeches!), that we found on the first site; or the shamefully small number of organisms that we found at the second site. Some lucky groups did find fish (but not us…oh dear!).
(Mr Lavin’s favourite finds were amourous Gammarus!)
