reeds have returned and very thick growing on the top of the water surface and the sides of the creek. For the first time in 2 years there are pobblebonk frogs and growling grass frogs present. There must be huge numbers because they can be heard easily and are very musical. It was wonderful to stand and listen to them. Also, a snake was found in the area, this is also the first one sighted in 2 years.
