Drain seems to have been running for several weeks now. Could hear it at a pit 100m up the hill 1-2 weeks ago. That may be why water there is clear. Not enough rain yesterday to cause drain to run today. Saw one white-faced heron, 3 ducks and one cormorant on branches and rocks in the Barwon River, from sampling site.
