Seven Post Pond, located in Surrey, is a picturesque freshwater ecosystem that serves as a vital habitat for a diverse range of plant and animal species. Spanning an area of approximately 30 acres, the pond presents a harmonious blend of a lake, pool, pond, and freshwater marsh, making it a unique natural feature in the region.

The pond is surrounded by lush vegetation, including towering trees, shrubs, and aquatic plants that provide ample shade and shelter for the various inhabitants. Its tranquil waters are home to numerous fish species, such as bass, trout, and perch, which attract anglers from across the county. These fish contribute to the pond's ecological balance, feeding on smaller organisms and serving as a food source for larger predators.

The diverse birdlife around Seven Post Pond is a sight to behold. Visitors can often spot graceful herons, vibrant kingfishers, and elegant swans gliding across the calm waters. The surrounding marshland provides a nesting ground for waterfowl, including ducks and geese, while the reeds and grasses offer a haven for smaller birds, such as warblers and finches.

The pond not only supports aquatic life but also serves as a recreational area for locals and tourists alike. Its clear waters invite swimmers during the summer months, and boating enthusiasts can be seen rowing or paddling across the pond's surface. Additionally, the well-maintained walking trails that encircle the pond attract nature lovers and hikers, providing an opportunity to observe the diverse flora and fauna that call Seven Post Pond their home.

Overall, Seven Post Pond is a natural gem in Surrey, offering a harmonious blend of aquatic life, lush vegetation, and recreational opportunities for all to enjoy.

Wimbledon Common Swans on Queen's Mere. Having packed away my camera, I realised that I have been spotted and that the swans were coming to see me.

The swans bred in 2022, but only produced two cygnets. One was reportedly taken by a pike but the fate of the second was unknown.
