Fostonlass - have you tried siphoning the water out? A piece of hose filled with water and one end put in the pond etc. Only trouble is that you need the other end of the hose lower then your pond level to start off with. We used to clean our fish tanks that way. It was easy once you had the knack. But buckets and sponges will do the job as well. A small amount of debris at the bottom won't do any harm.
You'll get there
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My neighbor has a beautiful California Pine tree that sheds it's needles and pollen into my wildlife pond. The tree is a protected species so can't be cut back, but will these things affect the condition of the pond?
