Notes

Sunny, muggy and calm day. Hawk flying overhead and swan with 2 singlets had been seen on the Millpond an hour before on our walk. Some dragonflies and horseflies around. Birds could be heard but not see. A very heavy and extensive blanket of green slime and algae is coating much of the pond now on both sides of the bridge. Just a week ago this was nowhere near this bad.
