- April 27 [1942] Visited natural pond in hollow behind
Lohbrunners - large swampy area fed
by trickle - Mallards present, 1 pair.
Scoters, snails etc. suggest pond is
permanent. Green frog seen here last
week.
Found Hyla eggs about 1/3 developed
- brought to dark room + photographed
by colour movies in afternoon
[April] 28 [1942] Inspected pond in Empress
gardens and noted that school of
young catfish were being herded
around edge by parents
This artificial lily pond next
to Broughton street in Empress grounds
was visited several times in previous
weeks. Catfish were first observed
guarding a hole under rock on
street side of pond, directly opposite
point of land gained by crossing bridge
Fish would enter hole + shortly
reappear fanning crater with fins.
Last seen doing this on April 24 so
eggs hatched between 24 + 27th.
Hardy, who also has records of
these fish + saw them first, observed
several catfish feeding by pushing heads
out of water onto lily pads + sweeping
insects into water.
