The Red Moss of Balerno

I wonder what to make of the Red Moss (and what passers-by will make of me) as I attempt field drawing on a wet and wintery Sunday afternoon.

From the board I learn that:

Ponds are a haven. They are a complex habitat full of scavengers, predators, herbivores, decomposers, and parasites.

A conversation with a young person reveals that, all the same, despair is still to be found in this swamp. He has to go home because his brother fell in. If only they had brought a change of clothes with them!
