Discovering Nature⠀

⠀

• Making our way back to the castle through the Cwm Philip Valley the valley opens out to the deer lawns and New Pond.
  
  
  
• During the winter many waterfowl come to the pond. Pochard and gadwall ducks seen commonly
• Resident all year are coots and moorhens.
• In the summer a large flock of canada geese nest on the island. For several years an unusual bar-headed goose has stayed with them. The same birds return each year.
  
  
  
• On warm summer days swifts, swallows and martins can be seen catching insects over the pond surface.
