If the cats aren't yours then lion poo may help. ;)
Not mine, even though it always seems to wander in and think it lives here!!!

Do you have a red plant under the water surface? Your creeping Jenny has gone a bit nuts! It's looking really great, the water is super clear :)

Yeah the creeping Jenny needs a serious trim, especially by the fence!

The red plants are Stratiotes Rubiflora.

I modified my sponge filter so it’s lower, certainly helped clear the water.

Nothing new to report here. Still relatively clear, plenty of plants and now loads of weeds to deal with. @Staffylover

The pond has started to take off again in the last few weeks. It’s been really nice to sit by, watching the birds and critters enjoying it 🙃 decided to build a bird table to go next to it as well which (as expected) has been slightly taken over by the pigeon tanks that we have around ours 😂
