Pond still has water in it so seems to be going well...

Finished redoing the pond, hopefully the water will stay in now...

This bank holiday weekend I managed to get my wildlife pond lined, 4 tonnes of dry stone walling built, stepping stones added and the tap on! Can’t wait to see what wildlife starts to turn up, even though I’ve not quite finished! 😅 #wildlifepond
Putting our #MiniWoodland into the garden context. In the distance a #BumbleBirdPatch, #WildflowerStrip, and new #WildlifePond, set within an #EcoLawn.
Plants and mud are back in, now letting it settle and top up for a few days before I cut the liner and do the edges...

New layer of pond liner is in water and part of the mud and substrate back and added lots of tap water...

Dismantling the pond, more pond liner will arrive tomorrow...

Water level in the pond is still getting lower so there's a leak somewhere, will have to get everything out, thinking of putting an extra layer of pond liner in...

Plants are in the little wildlife pond, water level is quite low, hope it doesn't get lower than this...

Pond plants arrived tonight, will put them in the pond tomorrow morning...

Water level in the pond is a lot lower than I thought it would be so I put more sand round the edges to cover the liner, so the water looks like 'soup' again...

Photo of a garden pond with lots of plants covering the surface, some of which are flowering in whites and yellow. Plants behind the pond including foxgloves and astillibe also in flower. A hedge of rosa rugosa and a large tree visible left.
Good morning. Cloudy, bright and breezy here today. And a warm 12 already!
Let’s have a bright and cheerful shot for our #photooftheday This is my old pond in June. Sitting watching the pond life always gave me a moment of cheer.
Wishing you a good day.

Put some plants (I had temporarily potted up) round the pond and created some hiding spaces for amphibians and insects.

Yay, wildlife pond is finished (-ish), more plants will arrive on Friday... Will take a while to clear, I guess.

Dug the pond, put protective stuff and pond liner in and emptied the rain barrel into it (plus the water and mud from the old pond and some tap water) will cut liner later, than put the plants back in and order some more plants.

Wildlife pond is taking shape, still a lot of digging to do...

Next step in creating a bigger pond, all the plants temporarily potted up and dug out the mini pond and bog thingy, was easier than expected, yay! Next up is digging the pond.

More newt watching. Even more relaxing than gardening 🥰
Joy is… a garden wildlife pond 💦🦎

The #wildlifepond is looking good! Too much string algae but we are working on it. We need about 40% more plants. And check the #carnivorousplants living their best life!
Stellar’s Jay at the #wildlifepond. #birds
I spotted a #frog watching me from the #wildlifepond. But there is still no frog spawn, despite the fact that I built the pond nearly five years ago.
Watching another damselfly pond emergence in progress. These guys are a great natural defense against mosquito larva!

Grey Heron fishing for Frogs in my #wildlife garden pond. It dips the #Frog in water to soften the skin before swallowing it. #Nature #birds #Frogs #Pond #wildlifepond #MyGarden #MyWildlifeGarden #birdcams #naturecams #wildlifecams #NWCheshireUK
My Pin Waree Water Lily is waking up in my mini wildlife pond. Several new pads under the water are getting ready to uncurl and reach for the sky. It's a hardy version & does great in both below freezing temps & triple digit heat. #WildlifeGarden #WildlifePond #PollinatorGarden #BirdFriendlyGarden
The frogs returning to my pond make me truly happy 🐸 I’ve counted roughly 65, 5 up on last year.
This one knows he’s my favourite & is such a poser! #frogs #frog #pond #wildlife #wildlifepond #wildlifegarden #garden #mygarden

Two Sylvanian Families babies are hanging out together on a moss-covered slab in a sunny but wet looking garden. Blurred behind them are the bent leaves of flag irises and the faint impression of murky water reflecting everything. On the left (in the middle of the shot) is Pickle, a grey striped cat baby seen from the side with visible hand slightly raised. They look like they have just turned back from looking at the iris filled pond. On the right, at the edge of the shot and looking at Pickle, is a tiny cradled black cat baby. It's Reggie!
The sun is shining...but Pickle...I think it is still too cold to go swimming in the pond.
And I can't swim.
...
Neither can you?
Maybe we learn when it gets warm ^-^
