点评:We go to Fleet Pond quite often but this happens to be the first time this year. This is a valuable Nature Reserve with so many species and we should be so pleased we have this to visit. No, it's nothing like a 'pond' at all, its a vast lake in my opinion, full of wonderful wildfowl. A wonderful walk around it all, places to sit and picnic under the trees, many benches to rest at on the walk round. And many pictorial information boards.
Yesterday we saw a deer just 8feet away from us, squirrels, Canada Geese and their clutch of eight gorgeous goslings. a pair of mute swans with their clutch of eleven cygnets - absolutely delightful! The sun was shining and it was so peaceful - oh, untill the trains come roaring through the railway station nearby! But the wildlife take no notice.
We always feed the ducks etc - but using the special swan/duck/goose pelleted food or you can take a mixture of cooked rice and peas or plain oats or chopped seedless grapes and chopped lettuce - this is what is best for them - bread makes them ill and does not give them all the nutrients they need - so PLEASE avoid feeding bread. Stale grapes or not-so-fresh lettuce are fine - you haven't got to go shopping at Asda first!!
Enjoy the area and treat it with respect.
翻译:我们经常去舰队池,但今年是第一次。这是一个珍贵的自然保护区,拥有如此多的物种,我们应该很高兴能来这里参观。不,它根本不像一个“池塘”,在我看来,它是一个广阔的湖泊,充满了奇妙的野禽。在它周围散步很美妙,有很多地方可以坐在树下野餐,散步时有很多长椅可以休息。还有很多图片信息板。
昨天,我们在离我们仅 8 英尺的地方看到了一只鹿、松鼠、加拿大鹅和它们的八只漂亮的小鹅。一对疣鼻天鹅和它们的十一只小天鹅——绝对令人愉快!阳光灿烂,一切都很平静——哦,直到火车呼啸着驶过附近的火车站!但野生动物没有注意到。
我们总是喂鸭子等 - 但使用特殊的天鹅/鸭/鹅颗粒饲料,或者你可以吃煮熟的米饭和豌豆或纯燕麦或切碎的无籽葡萄和切碎的生菜的混合物 - 这是对它们最好的 - 面包会让它们生病,并且不能给它们提供它们所需的所有营养 - 所以请避免喂面包。陈葡萄或不太新鲜的生菜都可以 - 你不必先去阿斯达购物!!
享受这个地区并尊重它。
