Nice looking pond.
What amphibians can you find in it?

The pond is only half it's original size as I had to squeeze a greenhouse in that area recently. When I emptied it (the first time in 15 years) I collected 47 adult Rana Temporaria and a phenomenal 512 adult Lissotriton Vulgaris which I released into a local nature reserve. All that fom 4 original pairs! I was beginning to wonder why I was getting less and less froglets each year. Now I know the newts were eating all the tadpoles. I have kept a couple of pairs of each back to start again. I did also introduce a pair of Bufo bufo years ago but they promptly scarpered and they haven't been seen since. Now there's gratitude for all my hard work....
