All sightings of Marsh Frit are, of course, most welcome! However ...
There were several sightings last year, and some this year, that are definitely the result of unofficial releases.
Although I'm sure such releases are with the best of intentions, this does undermine the work of various conservation bodies, with population dynamics being skewed.
Cheers,
