Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Anderton Nature Park - the dipping pond The pond has been created as a specialised wildlife habitat. The specific interest is that this is a saltwater environment, as the water that supplies it leaches out of the waste tip which forms the hillside behind. In particular, it is friendly to Damsel- and Dragonflies, as their main predator as larvae are fish, which cannot tolerate the saltiness. The giant dragonfly sculpture bears witness to this - note the nymph (dragonfly larva) crawling up the trunk. The pale patch of ground behind the dragonfly is pale due to leached salt on the ground surface which has evaporated and crystallised. |
