Aaaggghhhh
Mind you I once saw a dead water buffalo in India - on its back, legs in the air, stiff as a board, it was there for days on end right next to a busy road, have yet to see them roaming around (or otherwise) in East Sussex....... yet......

When I was a kid I found a pile of dead cattle dumped. The rats seemed to eat most of them in the end.

What a strange place to eat them. I'd start in the eyes if I was a rat!!

My mate keeps goldfish in his waterbutts to keep the mozzies down....dont have a clue if they help stop the water going green though!

Shame, you could've collected more rainwater if it had been a bison

Goldfish won't eat the microscopic algae which cause the green. Seriously, the way to stop it is to cut out the light. No light = no photosynthesis = no algae = nothing for fly larvae to eat.
