Notes

Slight breeze coming off the lake, the water is very calm. Sun very high UV and very hot weather, hardly any clouds in the sky. Swan floating about 50 metres south, likely a trumpeter swan, and a pair flew by too. LOTS of dragon flies flying overhead, many different species. Lots of songbird calls, amd a flock of cormorants flew by. Red squirrel pair are pretty territorial chirping at us as we sample. A few small boats out on the water, but they stay pretty far out. The spot is quite shallow water where I can sample safely without going into the lake, and the thermometer rests on the bedrock about 10 cm below the surface.
