How did your ponds fare?

| I kept up with the melting of one hole a day for a month. Of my four fish, three are fighting fit (having spent all day every day swimming round in circles in the melted "hole". I fear the fourth succumbed early on - I fished his body out this afternoon. Anybody got any spares? No dead frogs floating to the surface yet - but there's still time  Oh - and the wretched duck weed has survived! How's yours? |

Haven't seen any of my 3 remaining fish (only three left after the last Heron visit  ), just hope they are down deep, did see several frogs today though. |

| My barrel pond is still frozen solid with just a veneer of water on the top. I kept a large children's ball in it throughout which may or may not have help the frogs but there are no dead bodies so far. | |

| Mine hasn't entirely melted yet either Madge. It has been a long freeze! Hope the frogs are OK. | |
