Notes
Little pied cormorant, Moorhen, Pacific black duck.
Thanks again guys, really good results. Some interesting D.O. readings (high), but quite expected due to on-going dry and warm weather. Basically indicates some additional oxygen producing activity occurring, which most likely is algal growth/bloom. Thanks Jarred.
