The pond is attracting waterfowl.
You can see a duck between the reeds. A good sign of health, although I don't think Hay is too impressed, as they'll add nitrates to the water.
A couple of weeks ago I added 10 Swan Mussels, which feed on the algae in the water and thus help to filter it. Some say they're a pest, as their progeny apparently latch on to the gills of koi but, according to others, they drop off after a while and do the fish no long term harm, it just being a normal part of their lifecycle.
Going to need a duck house in the middle of the pond at this rate. It would be nice to have a family of ducks in residence.
The local cats are being stupid.
