Releasing juvenile #freshwater pearl #mussels two channels today, less than 5 metres apart, one spring fed, the other a small side channel of the main stem river (surface water). The spring fed one was 12.5 ºC, the side channel 17.7ºC! That's over 5ºC difference in the space of <5m!

I do love this time of year...cold, crisp and cloud inversions help ease the mind...happy weekend Blueskyers
