User's notes
Sorry, these photos are from Mar as I am still processing some old photos. 1000s of Shore Flies covered the southern dam. They moved off slightly when I approached the water’s edge but returned in numbers after a little while. It was only the southern dam that had an outbreak, I did not observe them at the northern dam.
