Ponds

Ponds provide a rich habitat for wildlife including an egg-laying area for insects and amphibians, a home for fish, insect larvae and tadpoles, drinking water and food for birds, insects and animals. Where midges become established, they will also provide a food source for bats, which in turn will attract owls if they are in the neighbourhood. Ponds should be at least 30cm deep, but deeper ponds of 60cm or more allow for keeping fish and provide hibernation potential for amphibians. Always include planting around the edges of the pond to provide cover for wildlife to enter without being exposed to predators. Wildlife will prefer a gradual, accessible edge to enter and leave the pond.
