Habitat

The water flow is fairly slow today, it appears still but it is flowing. There is a slight oily patch on the surface close to the bridge otherwise the water is clear. I can see some Crows, Magpies, Butterflies and grass hoopers. No farm animals to be seen today. There are a few Gorse bushes around that have sprouted new growth also a few Blackberry bushes.
