"A 30 acre lake is formed in the park by the damming of the Nant Fawr stream. It is a popular facility for fishing and rowing. Other elements of the park include superb floral displays, the famous conservatory and high quality recreational areas."

A very pleasant stroll around the lake today produced the following in no particular order:

Heron, Little Grebe, Cormorant (x6), Rosybill, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Mute Swans (lots!), Black Swans, Mallards, Greylag Goose, Barnacle Goose, Domestic Goose, Canada Goose, Wagtail (only heard), Coot, Moorhen, etc.



A quick stop at our local river on the way showed no sign of the resident Kingfisher, but there was a single Goosander showing well along with a few interesting Mallard Hybrids.
