Lobster Migration Begins
The recently predicted migration of the Lesser Spotted Northumbrian Fresh Water Lobster has begun. The announcement was made by Dr. Jane Mansfield senior marine biologist at The University of Charlton Mires. “We have waited a long time for this event, it is over sixty years since the last known migration said Dr. Mansfield “we believe the unusually dry weather in March has prompted the Lobsters to move.
For reasons unknown, the Lobsters surface from various Northumbrian still waters including Black Lough, the Gull Pond and Rock village pond and head in mass towards the River Coquet, where they stay for exactly two weeks before they return to the same water they came from. It was thought the Lobsters gorged themselves on spawning Coquet salmon but bailiffs on the river say there is not enough fish to support this theory. The great Northumbrian poet Goff Meetoe wrote of the Lobsters “ghan urn holiday, twa weeks in tha Coquet te laff an play. Folklore still believed by many.
Teams of volunteers have been placed throughout the countryside to try to guide the Lobsters away from areas of danger and to help them cross the many busy roads at designated crossing points that have been marked with warning signs. Drivers are warned to heed these signs as the Lobsters are protected by law and to run one over is a criminal offense.
Dr. Mansfield said “We are hoping to guide the Lobsters away from the Shilbottle area to preserve their gene pool, Shilbottle is infested by a multitude of crustaceans some of which are extremely mutated.
The public is warned to keep well away from the Lobsters, as they are highly dangerous, at least 15 people were reported killed by the creatures during the last recorded migration. Local farmers have been advised to move their animals from predicted routes and everyone in the area is warned to keep pets and young children inside “The Lobsters are edible said Dr. Mansfield “but you’ll probably end up as a meal if you try to take one, they are vicious little buggers and can move very quickly when provoked.
It is hoped the migration will give scientists a valuable opportunity to study this relatively unknown Northumbrian animal.

“At a hemel hoolie at Howick the other night, maybe it was the atmosphere or the excellent Seahouses Vole wine, I found my mind wandering to thoughts of the divine Craster Lobster and an old recipe my Grandmother found nailed to a whippet in South Charlton in 1901 “
