After a long, cold spring, I've been watching all kinds of habitats and species wake up and get 2013 moving, including our garden pond. To celebrate this, I'm going with a non-technical post today, just enjoying what can be seen with a bit of careful design and construction, and a bit of patience in a small-to-medium urban back garden...

| A small hoverfly (I haven't identified it yet) feeding on a buttercup (Rancunculus repens) by the pond edge. |

| A smooth newt gulping air. |

| Nymph of large red damselfly. |
And that's it for me today - enjoy the sunshine, enjoy the wildlife and happy ecology! Back with something more technical in a few days...
