Exploring the pond in the heart of Etton village
We’ve a new Hedgehog house on site. Handmade by Mike Lofts. Waiting for a resident to move in for the winter. Thanks Mike.
New wildlife boxes have now been installed around the pond. There’s a couple of insect hotels; ladybird houses; a frog house and a bees/small mammals house. All of these have been funded through the 2022 FCC grant. We hope in due course to add hedgehog houses and bird boxes, but we’ll get some more trees in there first!
It may look like it’s still just a puddle, but the pond is starting to look good to at least one duck. Good to see some bird life returning. Moorhens have also been spotted returning. Let’s hope more to come.
