Huge new pond is filling up

If you look carefully you will see someone standing near the back to give an idea of scale. This brings our pond total to TEN!! We are digging two more any day now. ponds are truly transformational in terms of biodiversity. For example Kingfishers have been seen twice recently on this reserve!
