Hodge Brook at Fox Corner Nature Reserve

Hodge Brook

Surrey, United Kingdom

The test site was just below a bridge on the main path through the nature reserve. The stream is accessible here as the bank vegetation is kept short on the western side.
The water is moving quite fast, but it is a narrow stream and not dangerous.

small brown and black bits of vegetation floating under surface, water much browner than expected given only 4mm of rain in Normandy. However, rainfall levels were localised and could have been much heavier rain in catchment of this stream
