There has been a large quantity of rain over the past week (in excess of 50mm). As a result, water levels in the ponds were very high, particularly in site 5 so it was not possible to properly sample aquatic invertebrates from the normal habitat zone in the ponds. This is reflected in the low variety and count in site 5, and the reduced variety in site 4. The heavy recent rains have also caused the higher than usual conductivity and turbidity readings at most sites.
