We had spent the day on Saturday tidying up and clearing some of the grasses from the pond edge, adding some new plants and during rests wastching all the amazing goings on in the pond. added a few rock bits of branches etc frog homes - a hot sunny day and all was wonderful.
All change last evening. Torrential raiing, deluge, the burn bursts its banks sending the water rushing across the land, into the pond, the pond overflowed, the lining was pulled away from one side, the water overflowed down into the ravine and the boardwalk was underwater. This morning everything covered in mud, the pond dark brown, masses of wee and adult frogs jumping about the place and a dead salmon parr on the ground. The path around the pond which was repair on Sunday, now all higgle de piggetly.
OK it is start again folks! just something we have to get used to here:)

Especially after all the hard work you've put in there, too- I hope it doesn't take too much to get it sorted out once the water recedes.
