This is my pond, just had to replenish the fish as a heron got my others, hence the net. I am wanting to build a bridge across it big enough for my 3 chickens to be able to use. Has anyone got any ideas of how to cheaply build one, thanks
I love the first pond photo and love all the other ponds in the photos. There is something so tranquil about any area of water large or tiny. They're brilliant. I don't have one but I acquired a couple of half barrels last year which someone wanted rid off but didn't have time to do anything but pile old slates in them as we had a new roof put on. Last week I decided to start removing the piles of slates and discovered that both half barrels are absolutely watertight and were full to the brim with water. Very smelly too with every nasty looking slimey creature in them. Will have to tip it out and contemplate doing something with them.
I blogged the whole process when I made mine last year, mainly so I had my own record, but I hope it is of help to others too. Have a look http://ffroglet.blogspot.co.uk/
a photo of my pond ,not exactly a wild life pond iknow but an easy to build quick fix in that area of your garden thats looking a bit down, & the birds just love it.

Your ponds are all lovely. Fabulous!

Right up my street Dave Moore
Hi Victoria Sponge, the blue plant in the foreground is Cornflower.
A normal/ wild cornflower?
Why don't mine look like that
It's a stunning blue and seems very tall and upright - mine just flop everywhere...
Cheers for getting back to me, Redlandsrodge
