Fleet Pond Society (FPS) will be entering a float in the Carnival Procession that takes place on Saturday 5th July 2014 – please keep an eye out for it 🙂

The second storey of the new car park at Fleet Station is now open (see above in the background, painted green) and you can get some impressive views of the Pond from there. Here are some example shots. The next time you park there, it’s worth taking a stroll to appreciate the different scenes.

The aquatic nursery can be seen in this shot
The islands can be clearly seen in the distance

Here’s a good shot of a green woodpecker that has been caught as part of the bird ringing activity at Fleet Pond.
Martin, from the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), is carrying out valuable work recording the bird-life in the Nature Reserve as part of the ongoing Constant Effort Sites Scheme (CES).
