Inspired by Jenny Steele's advice on wildlife ponds, many of you sent us pictures of the water-based wildlife in your garden. Here is a selection of our favourites: a small prize will be on its way to readers who took the pictures marked winner.
Winner: Julian Warren of Ipswich sent us this picture of a pair of frogs in his garden pond.
Winner: Meera Ranganathan from Hampton in Middlesex sent several pictures of her pond, including this one of a particularly healthy-looking clump of frogspawn.
Winner: Penny Arnold of Sneinton, Nottingham
has a pond on her allotment that's full of life, as this picture of two dragonflies shows.
how a garden pond has brought wildlife to his living room. It's entitled "boy meets heron".
Sid Cumberland writes: "When I cleaned out my pond a few years ago, there were more than 70 newts in it, even though it was only about a metre square. I now have a larger pond, but haven't counted the inhabitants yet. This young newt was found under a stone near the pond last year."
