Horseshoe Pond

Actually an old spring fed moat.

Horseshoe Pond Hyde Lea Stafford UK 24th May 2023

It was months ago when we last visited. The far bank is an island, the pond is a horseshoe shape. If you are young and fit it is still possible to get onto the island, the drop down and the up are too steep for me now. We had many a picnic on the island yeas ago. Now we just sit on the bank and watch the water.

A few Azure Damselfies were around. Not many ducks.

The pond is about half a mile from the nearest house, it is about a 30 minute walk from home if I don't take many photos on the way. It has been known to take an hour and a half to get there.
