Problem with Bull Pot Farm rain gauge?

Just noticed that, although Wednesday night into Thursday was wet, the BPF gauge is showing a reading of 0 mm.

Speleodex - Rain at Bull Pot Farm

Also this morning (Saturday) the Met Office rain radar has already showed rain over Casterton Fell but the BPF gauge is still displaying 0 mm.

I'm not sure who maintains this invaluable resource but would it be possible to look into it? (The last rain it recorded was 28th June.)
Thanks.
 
Sedbergh shows 25mm overnight 1st/2nd but nothing significant otherwise, gauges up from Ribblehead similar
 
Nothing since Monday if that helps with diagnostics

I think one of the Bull Pot Farm minions was going to take a look at it this week, so perhaps they already have worked their magic.
 
Other rain gauges show that there was some on each of 3, 4 & 5th, but not on 6th, so you could put that day back to a zero (it was presumably reset at the weekend).
 
Although they also show no rain on 7th - did someone pour water in to test it? Alternatively that was the total collected since the 28th that hadn't been recorded yet...

Those show 2 or 2.4 or 3mm on 3rd, 0.7 or 3.3 or 4.8mm on 4th & 0.1 or 1.5 or 2.3mm on 5th

In fact there was some rain every day except 29th June, 6th & 7th July, so should have been more than 12.7mm - it either auto empties or has evaporated! (More than half of the total appears to have fallen on the 1st)

Seems that it recorded when reset (so it was done Tuesday) @samueld
