River cloudy but clearer than usual. Sample clear. Lots of pondskaters. Yellow flowered water lilies. Birdsong. Small fish near bank, bigger fish in middle of river. Damsel flies. Two swans.
Water temperature measured with the same thermometer as air temperature was just below 17 degrees. The thermometer seems to measure consistently about a degree lower than the conductivity meter.

Water hemlock? (See photo)
Water lily leaves
Dragonfly (small)?
Damselflies (probably common blue)
Pondskaters

Total coliforms and E. coli were both above the range >2419.6 CFU/100mL.

Temperature of the water sample was 12 degrees using the thermometer and 13.2 degrees according to the conductivity meter. Conductivity 378 uS/cm.
Not sure what the plant is. Could it be water hemlock?
