I took 44 photos yesterday, mostly of a Water Beetle! And have just come back indoors after taking half a dozen shots this morning. Will sort out and upload my favourites soon (after a cuppa).

What started out as this in June 2010....
^ The green tray is a bird bath/drink and successfully keeps the birds out of the pond.
Has now grown to this in November 2012....
With the most recent development (taking me 10 days to construct!) being this gravel beach at one end....
The pond and its wildlife inhabitants (no fish) have so far endured and survived snow, ice, and flood....
^ Snow and ice 28th November 2010.
^ Flooded 5th July 2012.
More of my pond inhabitant pics to follow......
Greeners:
Enjoying your pics RR! :congrats:

Some more as promised...........
^ The newly constructed (and finished, I think!) 'beach' extension which is 5" at its deepest.
^ It's surprising how quickly it attracted inhabitants. Note Water Beetle on left and baby Plamate Newt on right.
^ The surprise continued with an adult Palmate Newt (male).
I managed to capture the Newt 'baby' and, with great difficulty as they are turbocharged, the Water Beetle...........
^ I was a bit concerned if one would try to eat the other but they were a similar size.
Water Beetles are both carniverous and aggressive.
^ The glass can give some great colour effects.
^ One of my favourite shots - He (it's a male Aribus bipustulatus) looks like he is flying onto a landing strip with lights. They are air breathing and do fly in the air.
