Useful Information

This species list has been made possible by the WildFish SmartRivers initiative and the hard work of Watercress & Winterbournes  (W&W) volunteers. The SmartRivers initiative involves carrying out detailed anaylsis and counts of what is found in a biannual kick sample taken from key sites within the W&W Test catchment. The SmartRivers key site on the Pillhill Brookshares its location with the  PBA Balksbury Park monitoring site.
The species list and embedded image indentfication links can be used to help PBA volunteers get more familiar with the invertebrate families that they may expect to find in our brook.
