How deep a pond are you considering?
Might want to think to incorporate linked steps/shelves for the banks.
This ensures whatever the water level wildlife can access it for drinking water,
and can safely exit the pond.Picture shows a pond dug back in March '22 in Ruislip Woods NNR.
Leaflitter is accumulating on the shelves.
There are slopes between the shelves.

Gonna dig a wildlife pond. Have seen info on the wildlife trust website, but wondered if anyone has any key bits of advice, things to do/avoid. Current thought is to go the liner route rather than clay/precast.
