Habitat survey done today
Habitat
<p>We have had a spell of hot weather over a few days, today it is 30°c it appears the sheep have been finding shelter around the bridge and under the trees along the river bank. There are cattle also grazing along the river further down. There is freshly flatened grass and debris on some parts of the bank probably from a recent flood. There are a couple of what appears to be serated tussocks in the distant verge vegetation.(I have tried to take into account and even out my observations when rating the stream habitat scores looking upstream does score a lot higher than looking downstream from the bridge). I will put some photos in the diary.</p>
