..has begun, most of the liner has been hidden under a layer of soil and we are starting to put back everything saved out of the old pond including up to 20 baby Smooth Newts we didn’t know we had. Planting up will be the next stage and putting some paths in - a stone bench has already gone in to a prime morning position for pond watching. It has only been two days since we filled the pond and already we have had a new species - a Whirligig Beetle which we never had in the old pond probably due to a small water surface area.
one of many diving beetles I have yet to identify!
Smooth Newt Tadpole
An easy one to identify the Great Diving Beetle
New pond looks really good - a perfect shape and depth. Wayne has made a very professional job. Its going to be exciting to see what turns up next!
