The last day of the trout season and what a miserable one it is.  We have lost the gale that blew yesterday afternoon and most of the night, but it's a dull, dank drizzly sort of morning where everything including the fish is keeping its head down.

The Tarn looked pretty dead first thing.  No sign of cormorants, but not much sign of anything else either.  Time to think about stocking up with fuel for winter and getting the chimneys swept ready for the cold days ahead.

Yesterday I posted up the results from the invertebrate survey we did last week.  As always if you want access to the online spreadsheets just email me.
