Notes

We had new volunteers join us today- Erina Officer, Elsa Mahlstedt and Fran Berry. We have changed our monitoring day to Saturday and welcomed back Mary Eckhardt who did observations a few years ago. The path of the river takes a wider route across the beach so an extra photo has been taken to show that. Also a photo of the water gauge which is quite slimy and a bit hard to read, there's a lot of algae in the river, it has been warm with little rainfall in January.
