Wetland Lake is the landscape water feature of the new development in Compton Park. Until yesterday it was surrounded by buildersfencing which meant it was only visible from a distance.
The lake is fed by a previously culverted section of the Graiseley brook. The lake has already established vegetation and a wooden footbridge, from which this picture was taken.
It’s already beginning to attract wildlife: a first quick stroll across the bridge gave a view of dragonflies as well as other water insects.
