My Wildlife Pond Build

from the Beginning

In 2022, I set out to create a large wildlife pond in my garden, building on my previous pond project with the aim of attracting and supporting even more wildlife. In this first episode, I take you through the initial build, from digging and lining the pond to filling it before winter arrives. The project then continues into 2023 as I start making further improvements ahead of the summer season.

Part 2: New Birds and More

With the pond beginning to take shape, I'm already seeing more wildlife discovering this new habitat. From beautiful birds to fascinating insects, I share some of the new visitors while continuing to improve the pond with additional plants, rocks and natural features to create even more opportunities for wildlife.

Part 3: New Species

As the pond settles into its first year, I'm discovering just how much wildlife it can attract. In this episode, I share some of the highlights, from familiar regular visitors to species I've never seen in my garden before. There are even a few exciting visitors I've only managed to catch a glimpse of!

Part 4: All of 2024

After two years of development, the pond has become an incredible addition to my garden. Throughout 2024, I've continued to see new species arrive, along with plenty of unexpected moments and changes along the way. In this episode, I look back at another fantastic year of wildlife around the pond.

Part 5: My Best Visitor Yet

The pond has attracted some amazing wildlife over the years, but this latest visitor might just be my most exciting yet! Join me as I share another year of wildlife discoveries, including a very special visitor that I'm incredibly excited to show you.
