An almost dried up scrape out that is supposed to be an attempt to provide a habitat for wildlife. Scraping out a big shallow trench where the bed is a heavy gray mud will not encourage wildfowl. Someone needs to try a wee bit harder on the basics.

A large flat central part of the nature reserve which appears to be part bog, part rushes and part scrubby but firm ground is called the Orchid Meadow. Parts of the town can be seen beyond.

A good sized pond and a much better effort than its near dried up neighbour. Still muddy waters though with little plant life on the surface but its probably early days to be fair.
