Water levels at both wetlands much higher this month which contributed towards good chemical results. Apart from slight turbidity the wetlands are in great shape with plenty of frogs calling. Bug activity present but no samples taken this month. Will wait until spring. Next to wetlands 2 at Rentons Ridge, there is another shallow pondage which is showing signs of activity, plenty of frog calls. Apart from several yabbies. Will wait until water level increases before start bug sampling.
