Huge new pond is filling up
October 13, 2024
So we have built two huge new ponds on The Doctor's Rest reserve and look all the recent rain has filled it up. If you look carefully you will see someone standing near the back to give an idea of scale. This brings our pond total to TEN!! We are digging two more any day now. ponds are truly transformational in terms of biodiversity. For example Kingfishers have been seen twice recently on this reserve!
cheers David
