Water level at wetland has dropped quite a lot since january. This however had no effect of the condition of the water apart from turbidity. Should there be no rainfall to top it up during march I can only assume the clarity will become worse towards the centre of the pond. Bug life minimal with only backswimmers, seed shrimp and diving beetles noticed.
