  1. @MostlyTato We've lived here for 20+ years. The first 10 we saw grass snake every few years, not more than 3 times.
    Then we built the large wildlife pond. It's purpose built for newts and grass snakes. Since then we have them every year in summer.
    Additionally, we put down lots of dead wood and heaps of stone as hides for both newts and snakes for the winter.
    We feel extremely privileged to have these possibilities and to spend time with all our coresidents.

  2. A #wildlifepond is a #biodiversity booster.

    There are so many rewarding aspects of having a small pond. One of them I particularly like is when dragonfly larva emerge from it or dragonflies deposit their eggs in it.

  3. Today’s joy is at the wildlife pond with Iris ensata, Filipendula ulmaria (meadowsweet) behind, and Spigelia marilandica (Indian pink) at the front.
    Have a safe weekend.
