No flow but a decent sized pool. Very wet in Guildford yesterday - persistent rain

Not too far off turning into a small pool, stream reduced to a slow trickle. Last year, at this time, the stream went dry.

The stream is starting to turn into a pool. In the summer of last year the stream disappeared.

Bottom of stream was quite sandy.

Some dead leaves at the bottom of the stream, near the banks. The water level was above average.

The water level was about a third to a half way up the pipe. Upstream, now the vegetation has died away, I could see that this stream is fed by two other streams.

This stream has returned to the level (depth & flow), after the recent rainfall, seen in the spring

The stream has been dry for a while but a pond has now been created, probably as consequence of recent rainfall that has been heavy at times.

Not tested. Stream still dry. A local person (the same person we encountered at the corner of Withies Lane/Polsted Lane) said this stream historically often dries out in the summer.
