Clearwell Meend

This time, we continued to remove the willow from smothering the pond. There has still been very little rain to refill the pond which made it accessible for us but it will soon fill up again!

	We had only cut these stubs 4 weeks ago and the fungi has already started to thrive on them. Fungi are prolific this autumn!
	All the willow we cut was moved to the edges of the pond and piled up high.
