Habitat

23°c Very still, sunny with clouds starting to form, smokey haze due to bushfires in the Otways. (Yesterdays temperature reached 43°c here) There were a few small birds and some Magpies that flew away as i pulled up, lots of annoying flies that wouldn't fly away. The creek is not flowing, there are large pools looking downstream, stained geen near the bridge, stained brown or muddy looking further down. Upstrea i can spot some wet mud amongst the rushes but no pools. I have marked the in-stream cover down from 2024 as there appears to be less in-stream cover looking downstream from back then. (The safety rail on the bridge has fallen over)
