Best water I have ever seen during extreme heat periods, no signs of any algae. Saw a turtle in water during poast month never seen that before, fish also presant not seen as easily as this before indiates to me fish are gaining in numbers. Willow removal has commenced in my area with poisoning of willows and remaoval of other woody weeds such as hawthorn.. Platypus not seen for a few months but maybe nurturing young ones. Plenty of bird life on water including duchs, fowl(maybe purple swamp hen) and white necked heron. Also seen plenety of bugs in water.
The water flow over summer so far has been really good and very consistant usually always about 6 Mg.
