Thanks Louise. My pond looks really nice at the moment, although I say it myself, lol: I have this one, white, pale lemon, deep lemon and pink ones.

I have another batch of baby moorhens on the pond at the moment and they love sitting on the pads. :-)

It would Louise but I cant get close enough and my camera isnt good enough to zoom in. They are so shy and run across the water into the reeds when they see me - I really am that scarey! I ended up with a wellie full of water when I took this pic, lol.

~beautiful~your pond sounds ideal~as my pool is too small dark and cold I lost my little waterlily ~need a rethink as is now becoming quite choked with water marigolds arum lily and my Thalia that I thought was dead has three new leaves as well as a the purple loosestrife suddenly deciding to ramp all over the place.A bit of ruthless chopping back is called for I think!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
Seaburn: Trying to think now how big the pond is - I'll have to ask the husband but I think its about 150 metres wide - sounds big but with all the plants doesnt seem so big now :-)

7 Jul, 2009

 

Yes dawn...Rockys babies.Now coming down with whole family expecting extra rations of mealworms ! Getting them of course ! Lol

7 Jul, 2009

 

How exciting Ray/Jane - all those lovely little chicks to feed.
My robins seem to have vanished - they dont even show up for mealworms :-( No doubt they will want me when they are hungry.
