Its eco system appears reasonably healthy, with lots of signs of plant life and invertebrates. We believe that that the pond’s natural ecosystem relies on being partially dry at some periods. This allows for invertebrates to thrive and for some amphibians to hunt more easily. The pond in Finch Lane is now typical of this cycle. Our first picture shows how the pond looked in late 2021, during the wet season, and our second picture shows what it looked like in July 2022, now in its dry phase. What a difference! Some people may feel that pond looks better when filled with water, but we fear that anything we did to clear the pond of its current vegetation would have unfavourable consequences on the existing natural ecosystem. The parish council has therefore decided to manage the pond as a wild habitat and allow it to dry out, naturally, in the dry period.
