Observations

  • 25 October 2019

    Loch Leven at Ben Voirlick Drive by Nancy Dobson

    The lake water has become quite green, but not a lot of large weed beds on the surface like some years. We saw redneck grebes, mallards,cormorants, painted turtle, leopard frog, pelicans. We checked the invasive species tube and it was clean. I forgot to measure the depth of the water, but it should be about the same as last time.

    Loch Leven at Ben Voirlick Drive by Nancy Dobson

    It was very windy (43km), so was difficult to keep the canoe in one place long enough to get the water depth. Other than the secchi test, we did all other tests from shore. There had been about 6” of snow on Tuesday or Wednesday. The water was VERY clear. No wildlife observed.

    Loch Leven at Ben Voirlick Drive by Nancy Dobson

    The water was clearer than previously...not as much green colour. Today was sun-cloud mix and had been similar to that for several days. While on the water, we saw no wildlife, but when leaving the lake we saw a flock of mallards near the small beach.

    Water levels remain low even with recent rain. Abnormal amount of weeds this year and further out than noticed other years. Alot of floating weeds due to boat traffic and algea along shoreline especially bay areas. No water going over weir. Water is noticeably clearer than July sample with secchi depth 1.9 meters.
