Went to a pond workshop in the Kingfisher community garden yesterday; the speaker said that there's huge insect life in Bushy Park, and the largest number of bats in Dublin - but all at the pond where the swans live, not on the woodland ponds. He said this is because of pine trees planted around the woodland ponds, which make them acid. Can't think of a lot of pine trees myself, apart from 2 sequoias and a couple of Scots Pines, all relatively ancient
