Swan Lake Park is a small nature reserve in the Blackwater Valley on the outskirts of Sandhurst. There is a huge variety of bird and insect life and if you are lucky you may even see an occassional deer or fox. The weather at the start of April wasn’t very favourable for visiting plus part of the park was closed for maintenance for a couple weeks. Nevertheless there was still plenty to see.
