i made a shallow wildlife pond just before christmas gone,it has
gravel/pebbles.I am amazed at how wildlife has sprung from what seems
nowhere!Frogs/toads appeared,lots of pond snails,pond skates?,and tiny knat
looking things swimming about?And to my surprise whilst adding some plants
today spotted a newt!
Can you tell i am happy about this.
I find it amazing how a new pond can have such interest in such a short
period of time.
Thanks Keith

nice one keith, good to see the wild life being encouraged back into the
gardens, any pics ?


I agree. It's lovely to see people making ponds because they have been in
short supply for water wildlife. It's astonishing how quickly all sorts of
creatures find water and colonise it.
