It is literally the first rain like this I can remember for months and months.

Visually I only see back swimmers and water slaters..but then most of the pond on the surface what’s left of it with the drought, is covered in starwort and a frog bit.

About a week ago I had very many tiny backswimmers. Within a week their numbers have gone right down, and those left have already got much bigger. I’m presuming canibalism must be going on? because I have frequently seen them darting at one another.

I love my pond..and the rain :)

(SE London).

I think creatures in the pond are not too fussed one way or the other. Jeremy

Many Thanks.
