Peter Pond, Emsworth

Pretty grey and drizzly today, so we went to Emsworth for lunch. Afterwards my wife had a wander round the shops and I visited this pond, which straddles the border between Hampshire and West Sussex. An elderly couple had just finished putting food out for the ducks, so I hung about and grabbed a few photos. The pond is privately owned and was designated a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI) in 1997. Thirty-odd years ago we nearly bought a house next to this pond, but it was just out of our price range and would be even more so nowadays. Such a shame :-( See the PiP for a close up of the ducks!
