Is this pond big enough for wildlife like frogs and dragonflies?

It's a commercially produced moulded pond liner.

It's a good idea to provide a separate 'bath' (the rectangular green tray) with easier access for birds and other creatures to drink from rather than tempt them into your pond.

I think that pond is really effective.

....Thanks

I think the Palmate newts who have moved in would agree with you too it's amazing how much wildlife is attracted to even a small pond. I found a Dragonfly case this morning.

the smallest pond ive built is a small washing up bowl, it attracted plenty of small frogs and lots of water flees, it does get overgrown very easily though, im not getting rid of it as it makes a good place for the new born frogs to go when they leave there pnd for the first time
