We had quite a lot of rain here last night and as a consequence the river is up a bit this morning.  It's still not ideal for salmon but it looks as if we might get more rain today so Monday may well see some good conditions.

I have it in mind take a wander up to Nanny Carr's this afternoon to do a proper survey of the line of the proposed buffer fence.  It's a good opportunity to do some detailed planning so that, if we are successful with the grant application, we can get started quickly with a firm idea of how the work should be done and the exact line the fence will take.  It's a fairly complex bit of fencing in places because at some point it will have to cross Cam Beck and how this is done will require some thought given the height that the beck can reach in a good spate.

I will take some photo's of the site and post these up later to give a better idea of the scope of the project, but the map I've just posted in the "conservation" folder gives the location and extent of the fence.  Comments from members would be very welcome.
