This weekend I decided to make use of some of the logs I cut last year; hopefully the new structure will create a nice 'habitat stack' for the newts, frogs etc. while also providing several kingfisher perches. Once the vegetation grows back in spring, the stack should blend into the pond margins and create even more cover for a variety of creatures.
It's a dirty job but someone has to do it... Several hours spent today digging up reedmace in a bid to limit it taking over the shallow margin and drawdown area at the bottom of the pond nearest the house. Any reedmace that crosses the new boundary edge strips this year will get the chop!
