Pondlife

The series of ponds which occupy the old clay pits are frequented by both great crested and smooth newts and are heavily vegetated in places. Aquatic vegetation associated with the more open areas includes locally abundant frogbit, with occasional common water-plantain, white water-lily and broadleaved pondweed.

The colony of frogbit is particularly notable as it has suffered a severe decline in Britain and appears on the current Red List in the vulnerable category. Other aquatic plants present include common water-starwort, ivy-leaved duckweed, and a small amount of water-violet which is a declining local speciality of ditches and ponds close to the Thames.
