If there is a temp difference between the air and the pond, wind, sun all factor in. Just keep an eye on it. Check around for any wet areas.
1/2" in 3 days is not much. I don't think there is anything but evaporation going on with this loss.
I just noticed I had quite a bit of evaporation this past week with the warmer temperatures and no rain or snow. I may have to add water for the first time since fall.
I thinks you get more evaporation when your waterfall/water features are running also.
