We’re back with another episode of Pondwatch. This time, Dr Ed Turner, our Curator of Insects, will be taking you pond-dipping and introducing you to some of the invertebrates living in his garden pond.

Don’t have a pond but you’re thinking of creating one? Now is the perfect time. There are some brilliant websites out there with hints and tips on how to do this.

• The Wildlife Trusts have information on how to build a wildlife pond big or small
• Check out the Froglife website and their campaign Just Add Water, encouraging us all to build wildlife ponds in our gardens.
• The Royal Horticultural Society has a list of practical hints and tips for designing, building and maintaining a wildlife pond
