RE: Wildlife pond in the making

At last I'm ready to post photos I've been trying to pull together of our pond over the summer months.

Diving Beetle in the middle of the photo, difficult to catch them on the surface unless I waited a long time & was fast.

Robin one of a few birds that used my canes for Hawker & Damsel Fly Lava as vantage points to watch for insects on the receding water margins.

House Martins gathering mud while they can

A few changes were made while water levels dropped to provide cover for invertebrates if the ducks return. Here an 18” sandstone flag set into the clay bank & on two sizable cobbles.

A 9” diameter 15” long field drain set into the bank so that it looks like a drain entering the pond, for the same reason as the sandstone flag but a bit deeper.

I may be busy, but I'm Never too busy to listen.
