Guess why this is (probably unique)?

Plastic ninja gets the prize!
Only planted 7 years ago too... have already coppiced some of the alder (which have started resprouting) and one of the biggest ones is about 10" in diameter. Was a bit worried they wouldn't hold up but they seem strong enough... we'll see again tonight!

Huzzah! I claim my virtual prize!
Looks lovely. I’m very jealous.

It’s a beautiful pond and indeed the whole property. The pond’s certainly large enough for several species if you could get the proper permits.

Thank you. Certainly plenty of insect life in it. Absolutely swarming with tadpoles too at the moment. Went swimming in it today - let's say it was "refreshing". Dog managed to destroy the only lily leaves that were on the surface but I think they were old ones so hopefully new ones making their way up at the moment.

From the photo it looks big enough to put a canoe out on

I have a tiny little boat but a canoe wouldn't be much fun. It's about 30m wide and although there is an island, the channel is very shallow and narrow around the back so you can't circumnavigate it
