A pond can be deadly place for wildlife

I’VE just built myself a new garden pond.

To be accurate, it’s two ponds. There’s a small one at the bottom of a rockery and a tiny one higher up. A little waterfall driven by a submersible pump connects the two. I suppose this means it should be classified as a water feature.

It’s quite attractive, now that I’ve planted up the rockery. I did this using some alpine flowers bought from the garden centre but also used quite a few wild plants.
