BLACK POND takes place in the diverse ecosystem of a Common in the South of England. The film explores the colonization of land, repetition of organism data collection, letters enquiring about hurricanes and complaining of squirrel shootings, agrarian and military histories, waiting for a moth to be found, pausing for a leaf, hands studying the migrant bat, depressions caused by aircraft, cassette-tape cases trapping and releasing a butterfly, a young boy skating on a frozen pond.
