We've recently cleared out the large natural pond at the bottom of the garden, removing lots of the rushes that had encroached on the water. Now that we've started to plant the banks with smaller marginal plants and added some oxygenating weed to the water, it's starting to look more natural again.
We must have done something right because last week a Mallard brought her twelve tiny ducklings to inspect our work. They spent about an hour swimming around and exploring the muddy banks before trotting away across the neighbouring field.
