Hare and Billet pond is the most natural-looking of the ponds on Blackheath, and probably the best for wildlife. Fringed with trees, it has gently sloping edges, with a good variety of marginal vegetation, much of which was planted after de-silting in early 1994. The pond is a lovely sight in early summer, with the pink flowers of flowering-rush and the deep yellow ones of greater spearwort forming a blaze of colour. With a little more searching, the blue of water forget-me-not and the mauve of water mint can also be seen, and less showy species include common spike-rush, soft-rush, hard rush and greater pond-sedge. Herons often stride around the edge, tracking fish.
