Eels a plenty
Items in this story:
I remember being told that they were Common Eels, and as far as I can remember they were too thin to be Sand-Eels – indeed they were being referred to by adults as “boot-laces”. If they were Common Eel elvers, no-one at the time could have foreseen just how vulnerable and threatened a species they were to become. Even if Sand-Eels, their fortunes have diminished somewhat since those days.
