Having cleaned out the pond, it is now easier to see what is in there. Our pond has been the home of newts as long as we have lived here, and there are a few photos of its inhabitants.

OK, this one is a frog, which is becoming a rare visitor. We used to have large numbers of frogs, but as more gardens have ponds and there are increasing numbers of predators about, fewer frogs are visiting our pond.
