Thanks for all the info and replies, pond life does flourish in my pond, I keep a bird bath and the waterfall header topped up since the pump packed in, I rarely see a bird on the birdbath, but there is often a bird on the stones in the waterfall header. I put the stones there for that very reason, and am happy enough to wash the duckweed down into the pond.
I am thinking of something like a hose with a sort of pump impeller in the middle, where I can have one end in a bucket filter over the waterfall header, and use the other end to sort of vacuum out the duckweed.
If I laid down a toe pool like they have at swimming baths, do you reckon the frogs and birds would use it before they go near the pond

If you explain it nicely to them I'm sure they will - why didn't I think of that?
