The Lake was created by the Royal Engineers who were based at Waterbeach Barracks from the 1960s until 2013. It provided a great place for training for amphibious assaults and building bridges between the shore and islands, as well as providing important recreation and leisure for the many soldiers and their families based here.
Since then the lake has become a haven for wildlife, with the islands being home to birds including the kingfisher. The southern side of the lake and the lake spur to the north of it have been designed to remain as quiet areas for different species to flourish.
Waterbeach is home to a wide range of wild animal species, and the caches in this little series have been named after a few of them.

GPS was a little flaky when setting this one, but should still be fairly close by.
Appropriate levels of kudos for being FTF on this series due to:
