Good Luck Corinne and Becky

Recently two tutors at Malham have found permanent positions at other FSC centres. Becky Casson moved a couple of months ago to Snowdonia to Rhyd-y-creuau. This week Corinne Cox has moved to Juniper Hall in Surrey.

We wish them both luck in their new adventures with the FSC, and they are always welcome to come visit.

New Blue Crayfish

We have a a beautiful new adult White Claw Crayfish in our tanks. She is bright blue in colour which is very rare and thought to be a recessive genetic trait.

As part of their life cycle between May and October Crayfish need to moult their shell to grow. Overnight our crayfish has shed her exoskeleton which is left in the tank and she is an even brighter blue than normal.

The photo is from yesterday before she moulted.

If you have any name suggestions, comment here on the facebook page or twitter.
