Posted Wed Nov 26 2008: from Telegraph.co.uk:
Waterway wildlife sightings down by 25 percent http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1227715463
The 2008 figures show 3,000 sightings compared to 4,000 in 2007 -- despite a 17 per cent rise in visitor numbers across the waterways network. Officials are baffled by the drop but suspect it is a statistical 'blip' rather than a dramatic fall in the number of animals. Many more people now use waterway tow paths as a route to work – walking, running or cycling – as well as for spotting wildlife. "If there is a similar fall-off in numbers next year then there will be a cause for concern but at the moment I am not too worried," said Dr Mark Robinson, national ecology manager for British Waterways.
