A pioneering wildlife project, that's been based in a back garden

:13:29.:13:31.

in Hampshire for the last sdven years, has begun to attract

:13:32.:13:34.

the attention of conservationists across the country.

:13:35.:13:35.

Two passionate anglers have been working to restore roach to

:13:36.:13:38.

the River Avon, after numbers collapsed in recent years.

:13:39.:13:40.

Now, as Roger Finn reports, a new threat has appeared jtst

:13:41.:13:44.

Welcome to Trevor Harrop's back garden near Ringwood.

:13:45.:13:51.

The fish has taken over his life and that of his fellow anglhng

:13:52.:13:55.

Both men were galvanised by a survey which found that roach

:13:56.:13:58.

had virtually disappeared from much of the Hampshire @von

:13:59.:14:14.

Hampshire even without roach is unthinkable. We thought we would

:14:15.:14:17.

have a go at arresting the decline. Their answer was to start

:14:18.:14:21.

a roach fish farm. And

:14:22.:14:23.

for that they needed giant tanks. Somebody told us they had sden a

:14:24.:14:35.

tank lying any bramble bush. We asked the farmer if we could have it

:14:36.:14:36.

and he said yes. One discovery was a pioneerhng

:14:37.:14:39.

way of gathering roach eggs. The fish normally spawn

:14:40.:14:45.

on fontinalis moss. The men came up with these

:14:46.:14:47.

boards hung with netting. They seem to prefer it to the real

:14:48.:14:53.

thing. The fish spend their first xear

:14:54.:15:00.

in the tanks. And then they're moved a few miles

:15:01.:15:02.

to Bicton on the River Avon. Here a landowner gave the project

:15:03.:15:05.

a set of derelict ponds known The roach spend two years growing

:15:06.:15:10.

here before they are put back The men believe they're makhng

:15:11.:15:14.

a difference. They're finding more roach

:15:15.:15:17.

at their spawning boards and anglers are reporting roach

:15:18.:15:20.

catches in the Avon again. But there is

:15:21.:15:23.

a shadow hanging over the project. In recent years the numbers

:15:24.:15:28.

of European cormorants arriving Unlike native cormorants,

:15:29.:15:31.

these prefer fresh water inland They are brutal. It is like a tiger

:15:32.:15:53.

hunting sheep in a barn. We want the legal rights to protect our

:15:54.:16:06.

vulnerable flesh. `` protect our vulnerable fish.

:16:07.:16:09.

The project wants a relaxathon in the controls over shooting

:16:10.:16:11.

The RSPB claims there's no firm evidence the birds threaten

:16:12.:16:14.

But whichever way it goes, the Avon Roach Project has `lready

:16:15.:16:20.

It's now being replicated on other British rivers.

:16:21.:16:30.

This weekend Folland Sports from Hamble in Southampton travel to

:16:31.:16:32.

the Bristol`based Longwell Green in the first qualifying round

:16:33.:16:36.

For them the romance of the competition is replaced by a

:16:37.:16:42.

reality that a good cup run pays the bills for the forseeable future

:16:43.:16:52.

However, if they dare to drdam, they're just ten wins

:16:53.:16:55.

They've already played two games to reach the first qualifying round.

:16:56.:17:02.

But Folland Sports can't get enough of the famous trophy.
