buttheadsmate Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 As I was studying the pic for the first time (as I posted it) I noticed that at the very bottom (centre) of the picture there seems to be some sort of message 'written' in the clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 So at this rate, we'll get a Kang minimate before the lake is full, huh? And why is the water all brown? Thanks for the update. I actually was wondering about your lake's status over the holidays. And to think that one month ago, it was a grassy area. My how they grow so fast.

buttheadsmate Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Today my bottom's full .....& er....brown The way it's filling has exceeded my expectations but there have been a few complications with land drainage around the outside perimeter of the lake which will have to be addressed when we get a prolonged dry period. Most of this is due to the fact that a lot of surface water can no longer get to where it once flowed because of the raised sides of the lake . Another area I may need to address is the amount of water coming into the lake via the main land-drainage pipe ,this isn't currently a problem but if the lake doesn't settle down to be clear then it will be diverted away from the lake when full.

Turtle Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Wow. I'm amazed at how quickly it's filling in. It seems like just yesterday it wasn't more than a puddle. They grow up so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yesterday my first vistors arrived,a pair of Canucks. Today I decided to greet them but the buggers were having none of it & went straight into the lake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Toss them some food and they might dare to move close to you. I have a canal across from my home and the ducks get quite daring if there is bread involved. Looks great BHM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I think I saw some of their extended family this weekend. They wanted some bread and weren't afraid to ask for it. (What kind of a moron goes to a park and doesn't take bread for the geese? ) I guess it's a pretty good sign if you're getting guests already.

buttheadsmate Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 It was quite exciting to see this pair especially as Canada geese generally just fly over rather than land here but I shan't be encouraging too many of their mates because they can deter other species apparently & become quite invasive........ I'm no expert but I have been reading up on them today . I shan't encourage them either but they're very welcome for the moment & it will be interesting to see how the resident hawks will deal with them .....the geese are bigger but not by much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
