Geocache Description:

Small 'Click-lock' container.


Renamed from Pipe of Piece on 08/07/12 to become part of a new Horsbere series based on the some of the wildlife in the area .

This cache is in an area left to continue natural development and has remained untouched. It is very close to the Horsbere Brook where various small fish are evident

There are eight species of stickleback throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
The three- spined and ten-spined may be found in Britain.
About 6cm in length, they have a small, fairly deep body which is normally mottled, brownish-green, paler on the underside. A breeding male has a bright red belly and blue eyes.
The three-spined stickleback is one of the most familiar fish of Britain's freshwater streams and ponds.
It may even be found in salty rock pools and sometimes just under the surface of the open sea. Those in salty water are much more silvery in colour than those living in freshwater.
The breeding behaviour of sticklebacks is unusual in that the male looks after the eggs and young, for at least a while, whereas most other fish show no parental care at all once the eggs have been laid.
