We seem to have a serious run again this year! We've had triple digit counts for most of the last two weeks, with still respectable counts even on the cooler days earlier this week. The highest daily totals were last Thurs and Friday. Unfortunately we had several missed counts on the peak day, so the calculated total may not truly reflect what has happened. However, we've had some big numbers each of the last three days, with a single 10 minute count exceeding 100 fish today!
So clearly we're not at the end.
This year's count looks like it's settling in on the third highest count over the last eight years, with 2012 being the highest annual count, and 2008 the second highest. However, based on the last three days (nominally 800 fish!) perhaps we can break into second place! We'd need to observe more than 1200 more fish....
