    Bank Car Park by Judith Ineson

    River is usually fast-running here - slow at the moment due to lack of water from upstream. Tested here since the Wey is dry along almost all of Flood Meadows. Will return to Flood Meadows when there's some water!

    Alton Flood Meadows, Downstream of footbridge by Judith Ineson

    River very low and slow moving after dry weather. Clear in test region but sludgy in places downstream. Saw a wagtail, I think pied but didn't get a good enough look to be sure. Also goldfinches.

    Alton Flood Meadows, Downstream of footbridge by Judith Ineson

    Very low water, river bed showing in many places. Only about 5cm deep where I got the test water. Shoal of minnows, fleeing under the bridge whenever anyone got close. I have heard that someone had put traps under the bridge and quite a few dead minnows were found in them.

    Alton Flood Meadows, Downstream of footbridge by Judith Ineson

    Saw a small shoal of fish that seem to be living under the bridge. Couldn't see them well enough to identify them but they ranged in size from tiny to 3 or 4 inches long. Tried to photograph them but they fled as soon as I tried to focus. No litter in the testing area, but there were a few cans and bottles upstream of the bridge. I cleared most but because the river is blocked under the bridge the water is deep there and I couldn't get to a couple of bits.
