Been doing my rounds checking feeders today, and at one about 10 feet away, in the bottom of a large hedge was a dead fish, well had a chap up the lane who knows his fish and keeps a large pond, come and look he identified the fish as a common carp, it was about 15" long and he said would way about 10+lbs when alive. Now looked on google earth and the only place that would hold a fish this size is on a farm over 2 miles away in a straight line, it showed no signs of gouge marks or being eaten, so what would have brought it this far, i'm thinking by air because the trip would mean crossing a 8+ft drain.
Come on folks educate me.
