19th August 2024 - the RiverCare team undertook their monthly river sampling of the Granta at the ford in Abington, and the results are shown below. Generally, the sample was a bit more spare than in previous months, but most of the usual species were present, but in lower numbers. More unusual were the two Stone Loach and two Bullhead fish caught in the sampling.
