Habitat

<p>A fairly good healthy looking site with lots of vegetation although I have marked bank vegetaion down from good last year to fair this year mainly because of the amount of weeds (blackberries) about. I can hear a few different birds chirping but can not site any of them. I can not see any fish or creatures swimming about. The river is clear with a slight brown tinge to it. Flow is medium.
