Can't really tell from the photo but I hope that mesh will keep an otter out. Be a shame to lose that nice fish.

Have had visits from heron's over the years and early on I think they had some fish. Usually now the local seagulls make such a racket when one appears that it alerts you to it being there, sometimes they even see it off 'Battle Of Britain' style have witnessed this over my house when a heron was flying overhead, have never seen the heron since

Pictures taken from video made by iPhone in a sandwich bag, I'm high-tech i am






All fish thriving, touch wood, piling on the weight for winter its slightly out of perspective as the fry range from 1" to 2". Filmed at a feeding so all shoaled up together. There are still about 100 fry ongoing and will need sorting out before winter or will winter sort this out for me?

If anyone wants some common, mirror or ghosty fry let me know it means you turning up with landing net and see what we can get out

Nice, I would love a pond like that

There would be a bit of quality fish breeding and stocking going on

So 5 months in and the pond is now settling down, or I am

Water parameters are good and all appears well. The clarity's good and when looking at video the ayirstone stream is 3.5 metres away so I think all is good. Babies are thriving but we will see what survives the winter and have a sort out in spring, all fish packing on weight for winter ahead!

The quality of video has to take into account it was an iPhone in a sandwich bag bear with it, it does get better

First go at publishing video so hope this works
