Hi everyone

Have just found this site due to an interesting encounter with a hummingbee hawkmoth. I have just moved to the country in Lincolnshire and inherit a pond which seems to need the filter changing every two days! Happy to talk to anyone as Im interested in most wildlife.
Worrying about protecting the pond from herons have bought marine netting but worrying about gilling the fish have not applied said material. Anyone know anything about small (2m x 2m) pond maintenance would become my best virtual buddy after the ones I have already!

Anyway, love Iona (the island) and Terry Pratchett - not very relevant I know but gives you some idea of my character............?

Regards

Joan ps the icons are pretty naff, can't I have a butterfly? };{
