A Hard Decision To Make

After many years of keeping fish in my pond and also at one time 4 aquariums, I decided a while ago that I would get rid of all my aquariums, by not replacing the fish when they died see The End Of My Aquariums.  I also decided that I wouldn't replace any pond fish either. Until this afternoon I still had 14 in my pond when a friend came and took them for his own pond. 

I don't have any fish now, it's not that I don't really want them, it was a hard decision to make, but maintenance is getting difficult for me .

The pond won't be filled in, I will keep the pump and the UV  clarifier running and hopefully it will attract  some natural wildlife.

There had been a very heavy snowfall and I had put additional supports under the nets to take the weight of the snow and ice on them.
