A Kruskal-Wallis test we just performed on sea eagle observations
(counts) over three years returned a negative test statistic (-8.48).
I've skimmed my texts but can't find a mention of what this means.  Is
it equivalent to a 0 or do we need to * by -1?  Intuitively the data
suggests that there was not a significant difference between years.

Cheers
Tim
