After two years of doing very little the water soldier Stratiotes aloides populations in the ponds have exploded.
They're proving very popular with lots of the species that frequent the ponds:
common frog
the hoverfly Helophilus pendulus
larva of the broad-bodied chaser dragonfly
large red damselflies in tandem

Smashing post, green too! No driving miles for your material.
I love the contrasting colour of the Water Soldiers.
