We've recently added a mother Peking duck that had-ten-now-eight ducklings in tow.
And a Pukeko seems to have moved in.
I've also heard some frogs, but I wonder if the Pukeko might deal to them, depending on the frogs' size? Pukekos also
predate upon ducklings, so the mother duck is often on her toes.
The green pond scum seems to be more absent than present, but I don't know why. The water is still quite green, though. Pleasingly, the levels are dropping less between each irrigation cycle and that's just great.
The flow of water through the flowforms has slowed. I have my suspicions. Does anyone have any experience of bentonite clay doing a sort of
clogging the artery walls thing to the delivery pipe from the pump? It does seem to build up in the flowforms and need regular and energetic brushing off and away.
