It seems I have a new pet .. in my barrel pond which I've explicitly not wanted fish in as it's quite small.
Reckon it's come in on a bird as I've not had any new pond plants for nearly a year! Frightened the life out of me when it popped out to say hello!

I took this photo today, looking down from the driveway. New Guinea impatients, purple and red, do very well until first frost with little to no watering in this area.
Found some interesting creatures this morning when I was scooping fallen leaves out of my tiny garden pond. (Sheffield, Uk)
The photo shows 4 dragonfly nymphs (larvae), a tiny water beetle and a tadpole which never made it to froghood.
The dragonfly nymphs stay in the pond for 2 years or longer, feeding on snails, tadpoles, leeches and crustaceans. See the excellent British Dragonfly Society website for the full story.

My first update since digging the new back garden pond over the June Bank Holiday this year. Plenty of wildlife, but especially dragonflies! Image is of a female emperor dragonfly laying eggs in the pond in June, just 3 weeks after I'd dug the pond! Full video at

The Mourning Cloaks have shown up again - this one stopped by to drink from the garden pond.
Today during my #garden #hedgewatch when I was checking the water quality in the #birdbath I discovered a lonely #frog. Me and my humans started immediately a rescue mission

Not much on the pond camera today, but thought I’d share this video showing the fish enjoying themselves. We originally bought 12 feeder goldfish 5 years ago for 25 cents each and now have a nice school of them. #BackyardPond #GardenPond #Pond #PondLife #Goldfish #PondFish #Fish #PondCam #TrailCam
