Habitat

<p>Slightly more vegetation than last year. Blackberries upstream from site are getting worse. Cannot see erosion on the banks as vegetaion has taken hold. Water is nice and clear with a medium flow. A few little birds around but cannot see any creatures swimming in the water. Overall I would rate this site slightly better than last year due to the bank vegetation but if the blackberries upstream and downstream from the site keep spreading the result will not be so good next year.</p>
