"The fluctuations in the level of the small pond provide ideal conditions for breeding amphibians and insects such as the Broad Bodied Chaser Dragonfly. The pond is carefully managed to benefit these species by maintaining areas of open water."-from the Welcome notice. In this photo the pond has indeed just been carefully managed by the local conservation volunteers, which involved removing a lot of iris leaves, two bicycle frames, one wheel and an X-box!
