Ponds at Seckington Cross

This lovely peaceful pond is near Seckington Cross. The big pond, with its weeping willow and plenty of marginal plants, has ducks and fish. It's a bit green, probably because of the ducks and fish adding nutrients to the water, and may be better for plants than invertebrates.
