Mrs Mike has decided to deal with the blanket weed in the #garden #pond.
This inevitably involves me doing 'stuff'.
#Today is not the day.
We're a team but that pond of hers is the bane of my life!

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

The juvenile possum paid a visit to the garden pond again last night. Hoping it sticks around this summer. #possum #opossum #GardenPond #TrailCam #GardenWildlife #BackyardWildlife #BackyardNature #Wildlife #UrbanWildlife

On Sunday, I put out a branch to overhang my pond; on Monday, a male Four-Spotted Chaser took up station on the branch, and yesterday, he spent most of the afternoon chasing off a rival male that was also trying to establish ownership of the pond. It's going to be a long week! #dragonfly#FourSpottedChaser #insect #SnáthaidMhór #Anisoptera #LibellulaQuadrimaculata #GalwayNature #GardenPond #Galway #Ireland #biodiversity

Somebody asked about building a garden pond... Newts were among the first residents to move in when I built a pond many years ago. Today we still have a thriving population.
If you are building a garden pond make it a wildlife pond rather than a fish pond.

Our backyard pond is filled with #goldfish and #koi with some of them being quite large.One of my favourite #lilies is this superb pink lily with yellow center, #nymphaeaceae. I love the deep rich yellow centre and the blushing petals.

My contribution to #waterfallwednesday (whoever came up with this idea??), the waterfall by my gardenpond (February 21).
I have photographed the waterfall by the pond a hundred times or more; not because I could not get it right but because I keep discovering new, minutely different and ever changing views.

At the first year anniversary of my garden pond project, here's a short movie on how I looked after the birds when the pond froze over during the December freeze last month - https://youtu.be/ETGnDOSm1zw

Here’s to 2023 and I hope many more posts, discussions and interactions on Mastodon.
Pic was taken this year at my (newly expanded) garden pond and shows one of hundreds of tiny froglets. Hoping for a repeat performance this year! It won’t be long now…

Any #gardenpond experts out there, the electricity company cut back lots of trees over the pond and so massive amounts of sycamore leaves fell in. The water is now very murky and black, and the oxygenating plant I put in looks like it's died, should I do anything or just leave it? (It's filled with rain not tap water)
