Nuphar lutea
The relatively small area of open water is dominated by floating pondweeds (Potamogeton sps), and has some water lilies Nuphar lutea. The Common Hawker or Sedge Darner ("Aeshna juncea") breeds at the site. An extensive woodland of willow and birch extends towards Lowhouse Farmlands. Extensive areas of rushes (Juncus sps) are present.
