Pond Dipping in Epping Forest. During the early part of July I had the opportunity to return to Epping Forest and participate in 'pond dipping'. It was a beautiful summers day and those critters in the pond were carefully fished out, examined and returned to their habitat. Click on the picture to see it fullsize. Pond and Water Lillies in Epping Forest. Pictures of the delicate blue damselfly and some minicritters. One of those days all peace and tranquility and despite the enthusiastic dipping of the nets, no one fell into the pond ! Back to June and July Home
