Work has begun on the planned dredging of the Queen Pool in the past week or so, set to last for the rest of the year. Much of the vegetation that grew as a consequence of the pool being drained a couple of years ago is now being removed. Inevitable as this was, it is sad to see some nice habitat removed which was home to a variety of wildlife, most visibly the herons and egrets. I hope the end result will still be attractive to those species.
