The pond and its new feature,
By stroller
19 comments
After looking at pond pics on goy I saw quite a few have got herons by their ponds so when I spotted this one on e-bay at a very reasonable price I was sold.
I do think he adds to the overall effect,
and as you can see he`s already eyeing up the fish.
Today has been such a bright sunshiny day hope this is our indian summer!!!!!!!.
OH is helping me with a new project which I have faithfully promised to be the last one this year.lol., so will be posting pics at a later date,
Happy late summer gardening.

Very much a Homebird lol, Your pond looks super by the way.
I've also promise the same to my OH, but the reply was 'huh, I know you too well'
can't think what he meant...

He looks good Stroller, the whole area does, we are doing well here as regards the weather, I was told lots of small walks and keep up the exercises to ease the stiffness in my knee so have perfected the art of incorporating those with a few jobs outside, lol, I don't think we will ever stop our projects, its just that sometimes they are smaller and can be sorted without it seeming like a big deal to our other halves.......

This looks really lovely Stroller.

He looks good Stroller nice planting to now if you'd like to swap for a real heron got one going free to a good home? grrrr, in fact one evening in the summer we had 2 fly up from our pond!!!!!! Don't think he's getting many if any fish as its not a pond he can wade in but he's a persistent little begger.

To all thanks for your comments. Simbad thats one offer I`ll turn down, good that they can`t get into your pond they are one aspect of the wildlife that we don`t welcome into our gARDENS.

Your pond is lovely. I like the way you've arranged the plants around it :o)

Rose you have made such a lovely new garden but I know the feeling of wanting that bit more - for me it would be a wild flower meadow.
Hywel I did plant most of it but the fern and the sedum arrived courtesy of nature.

That's good :o) They fill their place well.
