it looks like one of the campions. white campion. I think it is a Silene. but not sure which one.. there is a pink one too.

its a pity part of your pond isnt about 1-2" deep as all our native birds bathe every day i watch them in my waterfall .
ps the wren is bringing food so i assume theres a mum on eggs in there .

Oh Nosey lucky you. I hope you see the babies soon. the birds are drinking out of the pond. ~There are loads of rocks at one side so they could try and bathe.
Thanks SBG I have a pink one at the back of the garden, so you could be right
