All your ponds are lovely, thanks for sharing and I love the frogs and the frog sign hh. At present I have a small pre-formed pond, which is lovely but we have the space to do more interesting things. I just skimmed the top of the water to remove some of the surface weed with our fishing net and "caught" a baby newt. Delighted (me not the newt)! We were given half a dozen adults about 3 years ago, so I am pleased to see the next generation are growing.
Thanks for the pond thread Dove, I am sure it would be great but would you believe I can't even open that now either. It appears that anything past current items are out of bounds for me - odd.
we chose space over functional house when we came here. Rotten cedar shingled roof leaked like a sieve, buckets everywhere. Rats and mice in the roof, bees and honeycomb round 2 dormer windows, dead and dying bees all over. Non functioning septic tank, leaking plumbing, windows falling out, no heating, no insulation, just cedar cladding and a layer of soft board, heaps of dumped rubbish but TWO ACRES, easy choice

My VERY small pond. No frogs/newts - probably just as well as you can see what the cat did to the humming bird! Lots of insects though.
