me new bigger pond

[difflock]

With our continued liquid Sunshine, the water level continues to rise, subjectively probably now at its highest(but again still no depth gauge, derp!)

I do akinda suspect that it will never overflow, and if the surrounding peaty soil can accommodate the diffuse seepage/leakage without becoming marshy(at least next the house) no worries.

However during a particularily heavy shower 2 days ago, the 6" infeed pipe was running between 5/8 and 3/4 full, plus another 4" pipe running 1/2 full.

And it is hard to credit such a volume of water can simply dissappear.

From 500/550m2 of roofs.

I had a fresh tomato yesterday, , with a few sprogs coming on, AND flowers for more!

From last years as yet unpulled out tomato plant behind the glass at the front door, in an otherwise unheated space.

So late they are early!

P.S.

I mentioned moving the glasshouse to Senior Management no later than this morning.

Ya Boo Sucks!

Think you had better put in a compass and port and starboard navigation lights!   You will be coming across the Irish sea to visit us I can see!

To highlight he immense value of benign neglect for nature to flourish.

I was too slow, but just a few minutes ago the sky above the pond in the 2nd image was FULL of song birds/sparrow sized birds.

Impossible to count, but 100, 200? A VERY large flock. I had a stab at guesstimating the number in say a 10th of the swirling mass but. .  .  .

Cheers all.

MTH.

P.S.Not under SAS surveillance, twas the flash reflecting on the glass.(1st image)
