The Greengrid Taskforce were out enjoying the August sunshine at Chalkwell Park, Southend last week.
The task for the day was to survey the pond in the nature conservation garden. Well - we'll use any excuse for pond dipping!
The day was a chance for volunteers to try something different and to see how many creatures benefit from all the practical conservation work that we do.
Our pond dipping efforts turned up pond and rams horn snails, leeches, pond skaters, water boatmen, water mites, a bivalve, midge and mosquito larvae and one frog!
