All but ammonium levels up this month. There has been some descent rainfalls over the past weeks which has given us a miced bag of readings. Bug activity minimal for this time of year with only snails, segmented worms, non-biting midges, and some mozzy larvae. Frog calls abundant with two species present. Runoff into the hearwater has been plentiful from within the barracks and Greensborough Rd.
