Sissy,commented about putting a floating dock in my pond,pond in full sun,shade provided by plants ,but fish hide in dark,visibility is paramount to me in my pond,Then I thought why not a translucant dock ,shade and visibility,powerful concept,so I built one ,worked so well,I redid all my docks in the lower pond the same way,really slick,Thanks Sissy ,larger water wheel works good have to paint water source pipe ss too much
Working on filter , aerator defuser for w/falls like the dam ,works so well ,When things come together ,easy to continue.

now you need to get a bird or 2 and glue them to a thin wire to make it look like they are flying over your pond .I am thinking of doing it ,I found some pretty plastic birds at the dollar store with there wings out like there flying .Drill a hole a little glue and find a place for them
