    Are theses young eels? Seen at least 3 beside a bridge in the sleeve blooms, they were around 5 inches long. Sorry about the pictures they wouldn't stay still for me.

    There is a chap in the IFI who is looking for information on lamprey sightings. His contact details are on the attached page.

    He should be able to confirm their identity.

    It's either a Lamprey or an Eel. It can't be both!
