EstuaryWatch Data Portal

Gauge under bridge is so dirty that water level reading is almost obscured, so this is an estimate only. Tree branches obstructing view of scale as well.

The gauge under the bridge is still very dirty.

River flowing very slightly towards sea.   Wind gusting a bit in fact by the time we got to EP4 it had really dropped all together.

Please note there were very high winds and stormy conditions and yet the Beaufort scale table on the data sheet's B.No 1, only went up to 5 (Fresh Breeze) so when I came to enter the data into Estuary Watch and I noticed the Beaufort Scale allowed for more severe conditions I up graded the scale.   So please be aware that scanned sheet will not truly reflect either B Scale or Sea State readings.

Can I suggest that when the Data Sheet is updated next time both Table 1 and 2 be adjusted?   At the same time  Photopoint Site table needs to include at least another line as there are more than 2 sites on the Erskine River.

Allow please note that I am still unsure whether I am entering the correct times for the High and Low Tides - perhaps we could talk about that when we next catch up?

One heron resting in reeds - first time we have seen any wild life for some months.

Omission on Data Sheet.  Just noticed when I reviewed this scan that I had omitted to enter the number of photos taken at each sight.   Apologies.   However the number taken is as usual.

Problem!  First time I tried to upload data sheet .pdf file it was unsuccessful. So I tried a second time.   However I now find there are 2 copies and I don't know how to delete one!

The water gauge under the bridge is still dirty (as it was last month).  We could only estimate water height.

Saw some water birds for the first time for months. 1 cormorant and 2 herons.
