Pole Bank Pond


On Sunday I posted a photograph of Autumn Shadows at Pole Bank.

Today's photograph shows the pond. Although it is currently covered in duckweed it doesn't seem to be bothering the ducks too much. At the last count there were some seventeen mallards loving the water.

The grounds are in part maintained by a volunteer group, Friends of Pole Park - see their facebook page for news.

A photograph of the willow tree can be found on my photoblog sithenah.

Six further photographs and more information can be found on Hyde DP Xtra.

A contribution to ABC Wednesday and Water World Wednesday.

  2. I would have thought of it as algae. I've not heard of duckweed.

  6. At first glance, I almost thought it might be early ice.
