Work Begins

As you can see I have started to dig another mudpond, this pond will be bigger than some of the others, so I decided to hire a bigger digger to dig this one.

Topsoil Removed

Digging Starts

As you can see we have started digging out the mudpond, the bigger machine makes it a lot quicker and easier, so this one will not take very long to dig.

My Little Bit Of Japan

Fry

The koi in the outside mudpond have flocked spawned a couple of times and I thought there was little chance of any of the fry serving, but I managed to spot these four swimming around the pond. So it seems when I next net the pond I might get more koi out than I started with.
