Habitat

<p>Vegetation is a little bit thicker than last year, the Blackberries are still keeping the bank vegetation at a fair rating instead of good. Water is nice and clear with a medium flow, I cannot see any creatures or fish swimming around. There are a few little birds darting about. Overall not much change from last year.</p>
