Category: The Old Pond

Not everything is dormant during winter

These freshwater shrimp are having fun wriggling around upside down on the underside of the ice in the old pond.

We know: they’re not actually shrimp and probably not the native Gammarus pulex but rather the interloper Crangonyx pseudogracilis.

Poor ash

It looked perfectly healthy, but a storm brought down this 200 year old ash tree. At least we’re not short of firewood for the next few winters.

A grey, smelly, overgrown puddle, but with a bit of effort we hope to bring this old pond back to life.
