Good to meet Josh and Kath today at the Northboro pond on a very wet morning.. They had both recently seen eels in the pond and Kath pointed out an eel while we were chatting.
When the pond became badly polluted and the ducks began to die the large eels some a metre long disappeared. Eels can be very sensitive to pollution and we presume that they left to survive.
I'm pleased to see that they have returned but this pond over the last few years has increasingly suffered from sediment incursions from local infill developments
