Less sudsy, more ducks than last time. The river is glassy despite the outflow from the canal.

The water is a little sudsy. Mallards, kingfisher, fishermen. Something is whistling but I don’t know what I hear the kingfisher’s usual chrrr but I don’t know if they also whistle.

Ducks and geese, a human fisherman, normal outflow from the canal into the river. Had trouble taking the photo because but the reading was clear at 4.4
