Excerpt from Insect Life in Pond and Stream
For every winding river, every rippling stream, and every Silent pool is a complete water-world, the home of many a strange or interesting creature. We know, of course, that all sorts of fishes live in fresh water, from the lordly salmon and silver trout to tiny minnows and sticklebacks; water voles make their home in the banks of the streams and rivers, and the shy coot and moorhen hide their nests amongst the rushes.
