HAYSDEN COUNTRY PARK

I enjoyed a fab day out with John yesterday we went to Haysden Country Park, it's just a few minutes drive from where he's currently living. There are two large lakes and river, the lakes, Haysden and Barden are beautiful, it was so peaceful. On Barden Lake there were a lot of different ducks, geese, seagulls etc and John knows the names of them all so it makes it more enjoyable - these country boys! We chatted to a guy fishing he'd caught a 14lb fish earlier that morning, it seems a popular spot to fish as there were several people fishing along the lake, some had been there all night (maybe longer) as they had their tents and camping stuff. This lake seemed more popular with people and there were quite a few mums and children. We enjoyed eating our picnic before walking to Haysden Lake. The photos of the river and planting were taken on the way unfortunately the beauty of the planting has not come out, it is very meadow like and colourful; my camera card ran out of space so I only managed to take a couple of pics and didn't get any of the lakes, which was a shame. I enjoyed seeing how the footbridge was constructed.

Does anyone recognise the flower John is holding, can be seen in other pic with foliage?
