It apparently has water voles, deer and Kingfishers, and Snipe have recently been seen. I've previoosly seen Moorhens, Longtailed Tits, Greenfinches (well, all the standard garden birds), squirrels, fish (but unsure which sort), and lots of dogs being walked by their owners There are numerous Damselflies and butterflies and Dragonflies (although not seen any myself), and even horses stabled by the side.

Anyway, I went for a couple of hours there yesterday and had a rather fruitless visit creature-wise, but here are a few shots of the place.

Only just down the road and I've never been there.

Great photos, love the solo leaf and the leaves in the water, but particularly like the gobby horse.
