The irrigation season has come to an end this month which has seen the flow of the creek drop from an average of 6ML/per day down to 2. The stream is making its own water from springs as no water is recorded as being freleased from Newlyn but there should be 2ML/per day in accoidance with the GMW policyof delivering 2 per day.
A black cormorant was on the water this morning along with heaps of ducks who in their own right polute the stream banks with thier droppings.
