One of your problems maybe that the pond is an ornamental "fish pond"..ok im not sure if you have fish in it or not? but the design, steep sides and those overhanging capping/edge stones will make it hard for most wildlife to get in and out...the plants will help a little bit but i would be inclined to build a gradual pebble or rock "beach" in one end allowing easy sloping access?...just my opinion
oh .also..your pond appears to be surrounded with ornamental gravel..which is in effect kind of making the pond an "island" habitat for amphibians...they will cross this gravel..but if it were surrounded by vegetation/lawn/or long grass you would have a pond full of frogs/newts/toads for sure
