Put the plants in the little wildlife pond, water level is quite low, hope it doesn't get lower than this...

The pond plants I ordered arrived tonight, will put them in the pond tomorrow morning...

Water level in the pond is a lot lower than I thought it would be so I put more sand round the edges to cover the liner, so the water looks like 'soup' again...

Put some plants (I had temporarily potted up) round the pond and created some hiding spaces for amphibians and insects...

Yay, wildlife pond is finished (-ish), more plants will arrive on Friday. Will take a while to clear, I guess...

Yay, made a wildlife pond! Emptied the full rain barrel in it (plus water and mud from the old pond and some tap water), will let it settle now and cut the pond liner later, than put the plants back in and order some more plants...

Wildlife pond is taking shape, still quite some digging to do...

Next step in creating a bigger pond, got all the plants temporarily potted up, got the mini pond and bog thingy out, was easier than I thought it would be so yay! Next step will be digging the pond.

I'm going to make a bigger pond, so started to make some space (removed the little paving slab wall and some stuff), next up ; digging up the plants, then emptying the pond and bog thingy, dig those out and start creating a bigger more natural pond for wildlife. Large project so will do a bit every day.. (last slide is the 'before' setting)

De posthoornslakken doen het uitstekend. Is dat een goed teken?
