What do people think the likelihood is of GCN laying eggs on dead leaves in the base of woodland ponds with little or no aquatic macrophyte growth? I have never come across it however it seems a distinct possibility to me.

Any thoughts or experience?

Thankyou.

Thanks alot for these replies. Greatly appreciated.

Do either of you know if there is a reference to this in any scientific papers or books etc. Just so I can reference any of this in reports.

Thanks for the responses. I am doing some management plans for HLS on some ponds, which are as I described heavily shaded, with no vegetation. So was just considering the possibilities of GCN using them. They scored quite high index scores (other than vegetation and shade), so after this info I will possibly advise a GCN survey before any work is carried out.
