Exploring a New Wildlife Pond With My Camera

In just over 2 years this new wildlife pond is flourishing and I'll show you exactly what I'm photographing here. This has very quickly become my special place... and not just for wildlife photography.

A massive thank you, as always, to the landowners for allowing me access here to enjoy my photography. It means a lot.

I just subbed here. I really enjoyed watching the transformation of this pond after 2 years and now it is a habitat for various wildlife. And also a spot for photography. A big LIKE for your video. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Singapore.👍🔔

Lovely location, and great to see the evolution of the pond. Also some great close up pictures.

A man after my own heart. What fabulous fun. Thanks for sharing Paul.

Very cool! There will be so much more to explore, rather than sitting in a blind. Enjoy!

We're having an extension built at present. The builder has promised to scrape a pond out in our field before he leaves. Hopefully its like yours, what a great place.

Watching the succession of a pond is always great! Specially cool when you can slowly watch all the species pop up and change over time.

What an absolute joy that place is Paul. A bit of sanctuary for yourself and of course the wildlife. Wonderful stuff as always.

Loved watching your video today. There is a new pond near my house where I have been all summer spending many hours with my macro lens photographing the exact same subjects as you. So peaceful with no one around. Definitely my favourite place.

A good selection of insect life already Paul a nice quiet place to spend a few hours 👍

Congratulations that the pond is going so well. Hopefully it will grow even better and become home to many insects and birds. I wish I had the opportunity to do that.

I love this video Paul. Just the kind of shooting I love to do. Looks like a fantastic location.

[alanwood]

Great for you to have the opportunity to photograph at a pond like that Paul and to see how it develops over time.

Gorgeous!
Btw the pond is connected to an another water sourse (like a spring)? I wonder how it is not drying up.

Nice pond. Don't plant bullrushes they'll take over in no time.
