A Peaceful Morning at Ifield Mill Pond

There’s something truly special about spending time at Ifield Mill Pond. On my recent visit, the pond was full of life—both on the water and in the skies above.

As I arrived, a Coot drifted by effortlessly, its calm movement setting a peaceful tone for the morning. Nearby, a Great Crested Grebe stole the show, displaying its elegant plumage as it moved gracefully across the water. It’s always a treat to see these birds up close—so striking and full of character.

Above, a Greylag Goose soared overhead with purpose, while a group of Mallards burst into coordinated flight, weaving through the air in tight formation. And just as I was packing up, a Wood Pigeon passed directly above me—caught mid-flight in a perfectly timed shot.

Moments like these are why I keep coming back. The tranquility of the setting, paired with the constant motion of birdlife, makes Ifield Mill Pond a favourite local spot for wildlife photography.

Until next time!
