As a percentage their is roughly 15% of the
Lake currently covered in water to a depth of around one metre although the vast majority would be better measured in millimetres. As it's been only a relatively shallow fill the birds never came down to the
lake in any real numbers. There will be water to be seen for the September school holidays although would be a long muddy walk from the car.
The fat lady hasn't sung yet but can hear her warming up :-)
