Pond Life

Watching a Pond Grow

December 2009

In late December the "Big Freeze" started throughout the UK so as expected the pond froze over. The snow combined with the freezing temperatures to create very thick ice, by the end of December the ice was too thick to be broken. Luckily new research has suggested a frozen pond might actually be good for the oxygen levels in a pond so it didnt matter too much.

The duck didnt escape the winter weather either.
