Lancing Ring Dewpond


Dates shown above the images:


Lancing Ring Dewpond was restored in 1991 by the Friends of Lancing Ring in conjunction with Adur District Council, West Sussex County County Council, The Gambles Group, Blue Circle Cement, M. Langmead (Farmer) and local volunteers.

In the winter of 1999/2000 the pond was stripped out and relined.

The dewpond after the wettest August in my lifetime and four days of intermittent rain at the beginning of September.

Yellow Flag Iris was flowering in the dewpond and a male Broad-bodied Chaser dragonfly dipped its head on to the surface of the water producing very small ripples. Note the Hawthorn in flower.

There was no sign of any water.

At least half a dozen attractive Broad-bodied Chasers (dragonflies) patrolled the reeds and shallow water of Lancing Ring Dewpond in the early afternoon sunshine. A couple of Small Heath Butterflies were seen around the grassy edge.
