                        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  
                        The topsoil has been removed and we can now start marking out the mudpond.  
                        
                            
                        
                        Marking Out  
                        The pond has now been marked out, so we can now start digging the mudpond.  
                        
                            
                        
                        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. 
                         
                        
                            
                        
                        Getting Bigger  
                        The pond is nearly finished, just need to finish digging out the last side.  
                        
                            
                        
                        Nearly Finished  
                        As you can see the pond in now finished, just need to finish off the banks, then we can start filling it up.  
                        
                            
                        
                        All Finished  
                        The pond is now all finished and I have started to fill it up.   
                        
                            
                        
                        My Little Bit Of Japan  
                        The pond is now full and looking good and is 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.
                         
                        
                        
                         
                        One of my dogs keeping a eye on the koi
                           in the new mudpond. 
                         
                        
                        
                         
                        A few koi enjoying the
                           last few days of summer before the autumn harvest.
