The vegetation to the right of the picture hides a secluded pond, probably unknown to most of the thousands of commuters who speed daily into Nottingham along the busy A610 which is just beyond the trees on the right. The reeds and thistles had attracted many butterflies, such as ringlets, gatekeepers, meadow browns and a few large skippers. For pictures of the pond, see Image, Image and Image
