Tiny amounts of sap in the pails, spiles drying up...also heard seagulls this a.m....all signs to stop . Will collect what is left and add to batch 5 which is going to be massive. What a season.
ETA: just collected the last of the sap, just shy of 3l, some has a slight whiff to it. Will cook it up separately before deciding what to do with it. Short season, only a month for me!
