The Grand Fountain by Wendy Donovan

"The focal point of the park is undoubtedly the grand fountain which was a gift from the first Lord Merthyr in 1911 to the town in commemoration of the Coronation of King George V and Queen Mary."
 
Mallard (Female) by Graham Morgan
 
"The lake is home to several species of foul: including mallard (a large duck the males are easily recognisable with their green heads, white collar ring, an almost dark blue rump, grey body, and bright yellow beak. The females are a similar size, but their colouring is totally different with a brown appearance with darker brown mottling and duller yellow beak.)"
