Just thought to drop you a line to say t...Hi Folks,<br />Just thought to drop you a line to say that I was cleaning out our garden pond this week as it has been over a year since we last saw any of our Koi Carp swimming around. We assumed that a Heron or some sort of bird has had them, shame. As the pond is quite large and resides under a very large weeping willow tree which sheds loads of its leaves into the pond I thought it was time to clean it out.<br /><br />First disconect the hose of the pump from the filter and pump the water out onto the garden area. After it had pumped as much as it was going to [level low] it was on with the wellies and into the pond to bail out the remaning water. After retrieving a big globual of frog sporn into a bucket and 6 frogs which we safely transfered to the brook at the bottom of the garden. It was out with the rake,fork & shovel to remove all the slimy sludge in the bottom, when I spotted a 2 newts slithering through the mud & leaves. I carfully picked them up and also transfered to the brook.<br />So feeling rather pleased with myself that I had 2 newts albet very small approx 40mm long in the pond and managed to rescue them is the reason for this note to let you all know I was visited by a couple of newts. Long may they live.Mikenoreply@blogger.com
