We got the invertebrate check done yesterday at all three survey sites.  The results are a bit low in terms of total number of creatures, but OK when looking at representation of families.  The river is very low now, probably at its lowest since early June so some of the best gravel beds are not accessible which always depletes the number of creatures in the samples.  I shall complete the spreadsheets later today and upload them to the database.

It was a dull sort of day, overcast and still with no sign of life in the river.  There were a few sedge hatching, but nothing to excite the fish and encourage them to rise.  The cloud has melted away this morning and it's bright, sunny and a little chill with hardly a breath of wind.

Many members will be at Sammy's funeral today and I shall be with them in thought if not physically.
