Raging torrent

We have a stream running from east to west through the middle of Filnore Woods.  In summer it usually dries up completely and even in the winter there is sometimes no flow of water.  Well I was at the site yesterday, cutting some brambles that were blocking one of the paths, and I noticed that the stream was running merrily.  It doesn't look very dramatic in the photo but the presence of water on the site adds to the habitat variety.  We are considering making a small dam somewhere along the stream so that we could have a pond with all the wildlife that that might attract.
