Wait for new pond complete

[@rolib6108]

Hey. You should try one way glass, and building a wooden structure under the pond, so its elevated from the ground a bit. Therefore the background will be far away, and its not just gonna be the dirt on the ground. Well, I dont know how your new hide gonna look, but I saw thats how your previous hide looked like that. Check out Máté Bence's photography hides. I photographed there a few times, he has the best bird photography hides.

That's a masterful work. As a wildlife photographer who plans to make all kinds of habitats for wildlife in his property (and hides too ofc) this is like a guide to me. I’ll be definitely watching how you keep on building the pond. It’s going to be full of birds soon! And I reckon you’ll even get some bigger game like deer or similar.

It's nice to see a new video and the new pond and blind combo looks awesome. I am lucky enough to have several ponds, large and small, either on family land or neighbours' property to which I have unrestricted access. In total there are 200+ acres of bush and with 2 large ponds and numerous small ones. I continue to shoot at my bird feeder as the spring arrivals are now visiting. There is also an area 5 minutes away that floods annually in early spring and a large part is on a working corn field. The best part is that a public road runs right beside it so I can shoot from my truck. I recently got shots of tundra swans, trumpeter swans, mallards, black ducks, northern pintails, ring-necked ducks, Canada geese, snow geese and even a bald eagle...all in the flooded corn field. The warmer weather is producing a target rich environment. Keep up the good work. Cheers.....

You even moved the dirt so anyone living in there could hopefully have a new home by a pond. : D

thank you for being so kind to animals and so conscientious a person we humans have destroyed so much of their home, their habitat and they themselves. giving a little back and helping them is a sign of goodness. God bless you, i you believe in one, or may your beautiful thoughts give you peace. may you one day, turn that entire open area into a pond/lake for those creatures to use them for decades to come if not longer. the pond should outlast the filming, hopefully (btw/ a round pond gives you more surface per unit of earth removed, and you need to dig less for the same volume of water. you can make one side to be gradual depth "runway" for filming,)

A very interesting project. We built a small wildlife pond some years ago which transformed our garden. We used capillary matting around the perimeter dressed into the water and then laid grass roll over it. This enabled animals etc to get out of the pond easily. We also stocked the pond with swan mussels, they filter an amazing amount of water and keep it clear we also stocked it with newts. If you want to attract a great variety of wildlife build a wildlife pond they are simply amazing

So a guy in my town did something similar but on a little larger scale. He was a retired sports photographer for the college nearby so he knew about photography and set things up well. He now books one and one-half day sessions for photographers or bird watchers, one lunch included for $325 and is booked weeks in advance. He also offers photography workshop type interaction for an additional fee. He only does it three to four days each week. Started as a hobby but now a business. I realize yours is more for your own benefit but it just goes to prove, "if you build it, they will come" as the movie line goes. Your setup is very nice. I did wonder from your past pond, were mosquitos or biting flies an issue or was the bird traffic sufficient to keep them all eaten?

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Wow that sounds like a great setup. Thanks! Honestly they weren't bad at all. Between the birds, bats, frogs, spiders, aquatic invertebrates, etc. They manage to put a big dent in the population. But every location will vary!
