Ah! Might be a good idea to dig it down so the bottom doesn’t freeze then (depending on where you live).

Isn’t it?! Oh no, thanks for letting me know! Fixed now.

We do have sort of magical tap water in Sweden 🤓 But I "over fill" it with water, so that a lot of fresh water gets in and old water gets out/gets mixed up. Removing fallen leaves etc is also a good idea 😅

Haha, they are naturals! I've also been thinking about that. Depends on what your goal with it is I'd say. The visitors in this one is mainly birds, due to the lack of connection to the ground – neither ledges or dug down. I'd probably dig the next one down to have more of an actual wildlife pond.

How fitting! I hope it can be of some inspiration. Just ask if you have any questions!

Spotted this crane fly "standing" on her tail in a flower pot. Turns out she was drilling into the soil to lay eggs! 🥚🌱 Zooming in with the #macro lens reveals incredible details, like her massive eye and flight-stabilizing halteres. 🛸 #gardenSky #MacroPhotography #BackyardWidlife #Nature

Crane fly up-close with a dark, almost black background – created with a light shining on the subject but not quite reaching the background.

I spotted this crane fly "standing" on her tail in the dirt and had to get the macro lens out.

Turns out she was busy laying eggs deep into the soil. Zooming in on these often-overlooked creatures reveals some incredible details

At the second macro detail, you can also see her halter - that tiny, club-like knob behind her front leg. It's an evolutionary masterpiece; an old wing transformed into a biological gyroscope that helps her balance while flying.

Absolutely harmless, completely fascinating.

In 2024, we transformed a corner of our small garden using a simple pallet collar. Here, a European robin explores the pond. 🪶 The longer video documents the life of that pond over the course of more than a year ⬇️📽️ youtu.be/OUvstlgkCF0 #WildlifePhotography #Nature #birds #birding #Mindfulness

I saw mandarin ducks when biking the scenic route to work. Since then, I’ve been taking that same route and bringing my camera – and finally found them again. Lovely birds aren’t they? 🪶 More here ⬇️ youtu.be/LG9h7BRVBTo #WildlifePhotography #Nature #birds #birding #Photography
