Frogs and Other Visitors

Newtopia may be centred around newts, but the pond is not just for newts.

A small wildlife pond can attract frogs, birds, bees, hoverflies, beetles, water boatmen, pond skaters, and occasional mammals looking for water.

The quiet value of water

Water changes a garden.

Even when the pond looks still, it is offering drinking water, shelter, hunting space, egg-laying sites and cool damp edges.
