Unidentified in my pond
I have a "problem" with my pond. I used to have a large colony of frogs.
Last year they didn't come. This year it seems they are not coming. I live in Cornwall - so no bad weather this year and having looked around I see other people have frogs now. I did have newts last summer. Not too many. So I decided to take a look at what might be in the pond. I found one frog ( he/she seems to have gone now) one newt last night and a net full of something I cant identify. I looks like a fish . Its about half an inch long - some slightly smaller , greyish brown translucent . I have no fish in the pond and never have. I have trawled the internet for something like it to no avail. Any suggestions? PS - I don't want any false trails but if I didn't know better I would suggest baby sticklebacks but I don't have any fish in the pond, nor could they have got in ( nearest river 2 miles away). Also - anyone suggest what might have caused the demise of my pond since I I seem to have lost everything in there? Its smallish but I keep the area with long grass and a rockery for habitat and only strim once a year. I have lilies and oxygenating plant and it looks clearish , although it was full of stinking tree leaves until I set to last year. Any suggestions to a healthy pond ( and about my unidentified) would be welcome Thanks. |
