First pond creation; wildlife pond

Some construction pictures!

My summer project.
Top "arm" of the "L" is dedicated as a bog area.
Water is pumped up to the slightly risen "bump" where the angles meet, to become a small stream at the far end of the bog.

Once/if bog filtration works, I may add fish. But primary purpose is wildlife and plants.

Fish is a maybe. Not the primary purpose, but knowing myself I may test it out. Main problem is temps get to 25C below freezing over winter, and the deepest section is just about 100cms, so...

I have a light I will play around with. Need to keep it decorative in a way that doesn't interfere with nighttime wildlife.

Water will be pumped from one end up to a small waterfall, then through a bog area. The bog is about 50% surface area.
