Last rainfall 2 months ago. The presence of frogs gone. Habitats in and around the fringes have dried up where activity was the greatest. Bug presence low. At wetland 2 due to high turbidity and clarity of water I had to filter sample again. Water levels are estimated to be down by 150mm to 200mm. Breeding pond at wetland 2 has since dried up and frogs are now hibernated. Drains flowing into wetland are not flowing but are still moist.
