An unremarkable week. Preceding seven days brought a total of 0.13”, largest increment being 0.4”. Cool temps and plenty of overcast have kept soils nicely moist. Cool nights have resulted in bog irrigation so pond is slightly lower than normal, though there’s still reasonable outfall. Wildlife activity is normal; there are three cygnets swimming with the swans as of two days ago – a small clutch, and unlikely to survive the predation of snappers. Given all the action on the nest in the past week, I thought there would be more.
