New Bird Hide near St.Ouen's Pond

By the green/white house, over the road is an area of parking where an ice-cream van plies its trade in the warm months.
If you hop over / past a low section of wall, through a gate, and along the side of a small field or two...




.. there's a newly rebuilt bird hide.






The entrance...








.. the interior...







The nearby pond to the east...





.. and a view over wetland, toward St.Ouen's Pond to the north.

The Governor's new pond

A new pond has been created in the grounds of Government House, where it used to be just a meadow...






.. although you can't see it from inside cars on St.Saviour's Hill because there's a granite wall in the way...






.. but pedestrians can enjoy the view.







The grass has grown since I took this a few weeks ago :)







From the steps up to the school....







.. higher up...








.. and from the car park up there.







Ducks prepare to move in.

West again

View west from Mt Fondan...








.. closer...







.. right a bit... the pond is in the Simon sand pits.







.. closer yet, to La Rocco Tower....







El Tico II coming along.








Ferry behind the tower.
