Ball Grove, Colne.

One of the ponds along the Nature Trail near Ball Grove park in Colne, North-West England. In Spring this area is full of young frogs and Dragonflies (both of which breed here) and various breeds of birds. The Bull-rushes provide a hidden nesting site for ducks, some of which can be seen emerging from them in this scene. If you look at the "Satellite view" the whole pond appears to be coloured Brown....this is caused by the rushes which often cover the whole area. The wooden structure is part of a viewing platform which extends into the middle of the pond.
