Its busy at Slufters Pond.

late this afternon we took the dogs up to Slufters Pond for a walk.
There were no cars and at first we thought the pond was deserted, but then we saw a family of ducks under the overhanging branches on the island. As we walked roud the pond we noticed loads of little blue damsel flies flitting about. They are so beautiful like little strings of jewels glittering in the sun. As I was taking pictures of the damsel flies I looked down on the ground and there were literally hundreds of tiny baby frogs leaping around. In the photos I took of them on the ground they are very hard to make out but if you look closely at the two I took in the pond you can see them. They were only about the size of a house fly.
There also seemed to be a lot ponies around holding up the traffic as they congregated on the road.
