RE: Wildlife pond in the making

This is fantastic!! How on earth do you get any work done?

Personally I wouldn't line it at all. Allow it to be a natural pond and if it dries up occasionally, so be it.
Did you get a chance to puddle the clay when you built it?

Incidentally, what you have done just digging a hole and leaving it to mature by itself is exactly what the "Million ponds" project recommends.
