Notes
The site is safe to access from on right bank. This is the easiest way to sample, so that the snow bank does not break off when standing on it.
Odour: The culverts have a rotting smell coming out of them probably from decompostion.
Four Blue Herons seen- were scared a flew away when arrived. They were eatting near the algae. Or eatting the algae but not sure of which species they were interested in- they did not look interested in the cladaphoria.
