My site is a large deep pool, the color od water is not crystal clear as it has been in past, I consder this is due to an excessive amount of bird life such as duck and more disturbing the presance of black shaggs.
Have recently seen a larger than normal presance of what I believe to be galxias maybe they are being wiped out by the shaggs.
Platypus seen during the past month on numerous occassions as well as small fish most like trout rising.
