Pond Life Moves In

Today we bought a few aquatic plants for the pond, including some submerged oxgenators to help keep the water clear. Before we had time to put them in their final positions a pair of mating damsel flies turned up and started laying eggs on them! We have also seen a short fat bodied dragonfly, which we think is a type of chaser. It has been a pleasant surprise just how quickly the pond life is turning up, as we have never seem these insects in the garden before.


I managed to photograph the damsel flies when then landed on some grass at the side of the pond.
