- apparently a new pond will be colonised by at least one flying beetle within 24 hours - or so I heard on radio 4 the other day.[/quote]

We had a Greater Water Boatman (a bug, I know) land on the liner as we were laying it at Mayford Pond. How's that for fast colonization!

Cheers,

Adam

I am creating a pond too, but I need help in figuring out how to tap into a spring that is 10 m away from the site for the pond. I can't build the pond where the marshy area is as its too close to the boundry line. Help please!
