Habitat

23 °c Calm with a very slight breeze now and then, cloudy with sunshine shinning through, smokey haze from bushfires in the Otways. (Yesterdays temperature reached 43°c here) I can see some Magpies, colourful Parrots, white Butterfly's, tiny Lizards, lots of flies. I can hear a loud squawking bird and some chirping from smaller birds. I cannot spot any fish in the river. There are still Blackberries amongst the bank and verge Vegetation. Overall i cannot see any significant changes other than it is dryer. Maybe a little bit less bank vegetation but not enough difference to mark it down. So i will score the same as in 2024
