Tregeseal and Carn Kenidjack

Small lake, presumably a mining relic, about two hundred yards from the Tregeseal Stone Circle. There minnows to be found inhabiting it, and lily pads, and so presumably, it is not totally poisonous.
A lovely set of photos tpp. The abundance of wildlife is interesting too. I have a friend (won t namedrop here) who has outstanding knowledge in this field and may/or may not have answers has to how minnows may have inhabited the pond. I will drop him an e-mail.
 
Excellent - I would be more than interested in just how such small fish came to be in a pool, formed in a glacial depression, on an area of granite hundreds of feet above sea level, not like salmon fighting against the demon flow and rapids, is it? ;)
 
Thanks, CW! Perhaps the tornado that struck Pendeen back on 25th November, 1938, rained fish, Treeve! laugh#
 
There were others before that ... but, nit picker that I am, minnows are freshwater fish. ;)
 
Yes, but hurricanes pick up fish from freshwater just as easily as from the sea and it might have whirled over from the American continent or have done a tour of reservoirs! I know I am talking twaddle!;) laugh#
 
There are lots of possibilities as to where they came from and how they got there. Who knows they may be their own sub-species. Or is this what is left of the Minnowan Empire read#
 
I said to myelf eel be back that dear old sole tpp to put me in my plaice for introducing codology.
