Because of dead branches having fallen in the water we took our sample from the south of the bridge instead of the north we usually do.
Dissolved oxygen is still a little low.
We observed a school of small fish about 5cm long swimming near the grassy bank of the creek and also ducks.
The inflow has stopped and erosion is minimal. (photo next report.
