Rob GalpinWildlife pond more or less finished in the garden. Been on my wishlist for a decade and I finally figured out a way to fit it in to our small garden. Now to get it planted up (but damn, aren't pond plants sooo expensive?)<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WildlifeGarden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WildlifeGarden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WildlifeGardening?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WildlifeGardening</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Pond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WildlifePond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WildlifePond</a>
Squeeb Creative<p>Pond update... It has New Pond Syndrome, so full of algae bloom, or sludge. Mosquito larvae has just turned up, which is good, a nice first dinner course for the bigger creatures. And after just an hour of putting in a mini reed and lily a damson fly landed on it. So, looks gross, won't sit near it for a few weeks but it's having a great time! 😂 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/pond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pond</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/pondlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pondlife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wildlifepond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildlifepond</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ponds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ponds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/diypond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diypond</span></a></p>

Penny and Patch<p>We've been trying to take decent photos of what's going on with the tadpoles and frogspawn in the pond but it's not going very well 😂 We need the 🌞 to come out and shine through the water! Some of the tadpoles are swimming around, others are still spawn. There's still frogspawn on the plant in the photo. We'll try again this week! 👍📷💕 <a href="https://mastodon.thirring.org/tags/frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>frogs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thirring.org/tags/tadpoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tadpoles</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thirring.org/tags/frogspawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>frogspawn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thirring.org/tags/wildlifepond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildlifepond</span></a></p>
