common_natureThe rest of the photos from Dothill as promised!
Tee Lake is so called because it was deliberately created by the owners of the old gentry house in a T shape on the site back in the 19th century. The house is long gone, but the lake remains as a sanctuary for wildlife.
You can click on the pics to embiggen if you wish.
This big male swan is a bit of a bully- he was going for the Canada geese!
Handsome chap, though!
The bulrushes are greening up:
And the flag irises are coming along:
White deadnettle coming into flower:
And somebody unusual for these parts. They'd been extinct here for thousands of years but have been re-introduced. This is a red necked terrapin:
And that was our morning in Dothill!
