  1. I had planned to do an area that was shallow/boggy where fish couldnt get and I was guna do reeds lillies etc on marginal shelves in about 2ft of water then deeper section about 4-6ft to restrict the spread of the reeds/lillies. Im into mi fishing and always had lifelong ambition of having mi own little pond to fish when Im an old boy so there will be some coarse fish going in. But in my opinion these are as much a part if a wildlife pond as the plants, bugs, amphibians, birds etc. I wont be stuffing it with fish the same I wont be stuffin it with plants, just want a nice balance which wi
  2. I have been told water table doesnt come into it on clay? if you excavate and compact, old school puddling, then it will hold water. the level the water is at in the test hole definitely isnt water table because my garden is a couple metres higher than the lane so if it were water table the lane would be under water if that makes sense???
  3. What you doing with them other two puppys any chance of a trial gota love THL!!! Quality!
  4. Im sure environments agency would be over the moon to hear about insurance companies doing this!
  5. Its something I have always wanted to do. I had a conversation with mi dad about it over xmas because I can remember telling him when we were fishing and I was about 8 that I was going to have my own little pond one day. Didnt think about insurance but not sure how/why that would be affected? Usually if there is a natural pond it is because you are low on the water table therefore higher chance of flooding possibly???
  6. I will be planting plenty of reeds, lillies etc so hoping I get newts, frogs dragon flies the whole shabang.
  7. Hi guys, a few months ago we purchased some extra land and now have about half an acre at the back of our house and we would like to dig a wildlife pond for plants, bugs, birds and fish. a month after that we had a 360 in clearing some rubble and brambles on the new bit. while he was there I had him dig a test hole about 4ft deep. after 18ins of top soil we are on clay here. My test hole was holding water from day one and over the last two months has gradually filled with the persistent rain we have had and is now full to the brim so I am taking it that if we excavate the pond and compact

  16. Im new to this side of things but if, pre ban, you werent after a hare dog, pre ban, then wouldnt you have concenrated on dog that was good on the quarry you wanted, pre ban, then if it caught a hare post ban it was obviously because it was already off after a rabbit that dropped to ground then spotted the hare??? I had this coversation today with a ferretin partner about dogs. He has two young dogs, one bitch one dog. I think both are top class but the dog has a bit too much size for me as I would only be after a bunny basher for the small fields I have available.....small field = small d

    Time

    Falconry is something Ive always been interested in and one day would love to own a bird but with my current work and family commitments Ive got no chance. How much time do you guys commit to care for a bird properly? i.e. couple hours a day, five hours a day, half hour a day if get a full day out at weekend? Like I say Im not looking to doing it any time soon but something I would like to have a go at in the future.
