oh wow you lucky thing

Thanks, we keep it as a wildlife pond, no fish but loads of insects, newts, plants, grass snake in the summer, fox drinks from it every day.....also the local birds use it as a watering hole and bath too!! We used to keep Koi Carp in our last house but this time decided to go natural. It seems to have a wider variety of creatures :)

i was going to say please will you put some more pictures on, i think its really beautiful [except will you warn me if there is a snake picture on cos i really dont like them]
do you get ducks and ducklings on there?
2 May, 2012
So far no ducks and babies but they would be welcome!
As for the Grass snake, he is too quick for me to photo, I have tried but no luck :( Anyway not around at this time of the year, usually comes and sunbathes on the weed in the summer....so don't worry ;)
I will post some more photos later in the season, to show the changes, glad you like it and thanks again.

its on amazon, a friend recommended it to me, its quite old now but i rather liked it.
there is another book as well ~ i dont really know what sort of books you like but this one also comes to mind, its by Philippa Forester ~ called The River [her OH is a wildlife camera man who sometimes works for the BBC as she did] they bought a house next to a river to watch for kingfishers etc.
