Tributary of Classford Brook, next to Normandy Pond (no link at this point)
Normandy, Surrey, United Kingdom
This is a very straight section of stream that runs between Normandy Pond and the A323. It is not much more than a ditch. Ferns grow along its edge and it has a stony bottom
The surrounding vegetation is wooded.
At this point, there is no link between the pond to the north and the stream. The pond overflow goes into the stream about 30m downstream.
The stream sources are the springs at the edge of the sandy ranges to the North of Normandy and the clay.
WTW is clan.dwarves.lamenting.
the sample point is roughly opposite a bench beside the Pond where the stream is easily accessed.
Kick-sampling with children has found a lot of dragonfly larvae, freshwater shrimp and cased-caddisfly larvae here as well as a bullhead fish.
