Floating Dock at Spettigue Pond (Site 4) Westminster Ponds ESA
London, Ontario, Canada
This Kettle Pond is the most secluded from the Urbanized cement and traffic of London. Sits quietly surrounded by a ridge to the North / East / South East - drains SW into the swamp and then likely into Tumbleson Pond. We need to check the elevation of that out though.

There is visible garbage at the bottom of this pond. And much littered around the shore. Beer Cans and fishing bobbers, Tims cups ..... Lots of Algae blooms beginning to form near the dock here.
A hot day to be out on the floating dock! Lots of dragon flies, fish were jumping and I could hear frogs croaking, but could not see them. Strangely there were no geese, nor any other birds about this ocassion.
This area is visited heavily and there is often garbage found floating or submerged off of the dock (Tim Horton Cups .... )
