The Tower in the Clouds

The Tower in the Clouds

A quick shot through the coffee shop window at Epsom hospital at what I guess is the chimney of the incinerator. Seeing the odd cloud formation ( I bet one of you will identify the type of cloud) and the tall chimney just called for a quick shot even if through glass.Had camera in the bag with us but was a bit wary of taking much else other than this shot for obvious reasons, besides most of the time I was on visiting duties anyway.

Great Pond and a Heron on the Edge

Great Pond and a Heron on the Edge

A further view of the Great Pond on Epsom Common, the water had a red/brown tinge to it's colour and I think it may be as a result of the torrential rain that was here a day or two previous to the shot being taken. There is a heron on the far shore stalking it's prey ( not the white dot but the grey one between the white dot and the tree rowing in the water.

The Dragonfly

The Dragonfly

The Great Pond on Epsom Common has a very rare insect indeed- a giant wooden dragonfly ! I saw this last year but this time managed to get a shot from a different angle this time. I think it has weathered a bit from last time and wonder how long it will last.

The Vine

The Vine

The Great Pond on Epsom Common is designated a wildlife reserve so no fishing and a fence prevents people getting too close to endanger the habitat. The fence however had something growing along the wire but sorry to say I do not know what. Anyone able to identify?

The Stew Pond- Epsom Common

The Stew Pond- Epsom Common

This is The Stew Pond and is a smaller pond on Epsom Common. Unlike The Great Pond , fishing is allowed as can be seen. While I was there a couple of lads had caught a fish and I overheard it was around 10-12 pounds but do not ask me what it was as I am no way a fisherman.

Boggy down by the water's edge

Boggy down by the water's edge

The Great Pond of Epsom Common does not seem to have a well defined edge but a rather boggy borderline. To the right are a number of bullrushes, in fact more than I have ever seen in one place.

Well, what is it?

Well, what is it?

Seen on the edge of The Great Pond this can be found 'hovering '. It has about a four feet wingspan to give an idea of scale.
