(trail starts behind the Beacon) FROG Frogs have no necks and cannot turn their heads but their eyes can view all around them even when the rest of their body is underwater. Common Frogs are amphibians, coming to Priory Lake to breed during the spring and spending much of the rest of the year feeding on dry land in our woodland. FROG HONEY BEE Honey Bees are well-known as hive bees but many form colonies in the wild in wooded areas. Honey bees are super-important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables. This means that they help other plants grow by transferring pollen between plants! HONEY BEE WOOD MOUSE The wood mouse is also known as the long-tailed field mouse. You are lucky if you see one as they are nocturnal which means they sleep during the day and awake at night. They like to live and hide in the woodland. They eat seeds, fruits, buds & other vegetation WOOD MOUSE MALLARD DUCK Our lake is home to lots of Mallard ducks. The male ducks are easy to spot with their dark green heads and yellow bills.
