Wildlife

The ponds are a magnet for wildlife. It is little wonder that I am such a devote of water features. I do not think the magic of just quietly sitting by the pond (preferably with mug of coffee in hand) and just watching, will ever wear off. Although our lower pond is by the house and is a little shady, it is still quite possible to make it a haven for all sorts of inhabitants. I first built this pond in 1990 and it has been remodeled several times since but the wildlife is always back within hours! The advice given to me by Terry (an ex colleague, fellow gardener and skier) was never truer "....no matter how big you first build your pond, you will soon be wishing it had been that much bigger"
