Evidence of high flow after the heavy rain that we
had last week.
A lot of litter … plastic, paper, bottles, and several balls all caught up in various areas of constricted flow.
Also a small bike tyre.I heard and recorded what I believe was a striped marsh frog. It was hidden somewhere in the reeds.
