The site was relatively clean this visit.
Flattened vegetation indicated recent high flow.
Some rubbish and dead plant material caught up on the bank in a couple of spots.
Surface quite scummy in parts (see photos)
A large piece of wood had been washed down (a cupboard door perhaps?)
Ammonium and Phosphate levels were OK this time
