Pond Maintenance

on
Due to good growing conditions, many of the ponds on the reserve have become overgrown. Regular volunteers have been busy clearing small amounts of Broad-Leaved Pondweed to prevent this plant from taking over the habitat and provide more areas of open water.
The Pondweed has been left at the side of the ponds so that any invertebrates can make their way back into the water.
Peter tested out his new waders!
Work was also carried out on the main lake where there was hardly any open water left.
It is hoped that this will encourage the kingfisher to return to his fishing patch near the Lake Hide.
If you manage to spot the kingfisher, please let us know!
