I have assumed that the numerous small fish that appeared probably in 2008 in the moat were sticklebacks rather than minnows. This was confirmed today when I found a dead one in the frogspawn. There is still no obvious fish life in the stream and the pollution problems continue to some small degree but we seem to have a thriving stickleback population in the moat. Presumably that is why the kingfisher comes round - although I haven't seen him for a couple of months.
