I never did either until I went to the Kennet and Avon multi-rise
locks. The holding pools there were like fields - green with
duckweed. I realised it was water because there were swans swimming
in it and they were eating the duckweed. It was an eye-opener.

As were the multitude (in number and variety) of dragonflies.

.............. eating duckweed?

That would be an eye-opener.

It would indeed. They're not equipped.
