Hi does anyone know what happened to the fish that were in the top pond? I was told it was polluted many years ago is this correct thanks
Hi Robert
Sorry don’t know what happened to the fish at the top pond but Iv’e never seen any. And yes I think it is polluted somehow as very few wildfowl are seen on that pond and the Little Grebe that eats fish has not been seen for years
Regards
Martyn
