Why have I never taken a torch to look in the pond at night? So many newts, to photograph them may take a little more effort on my part, but I did manage, after a fashion to capture my first sighting of bats for 2023 skimming over the pond.
There were some ripples, not sure if they were drinking on the wing, or catching insects.

Neat! and a clever reworking of the old song. Perhaps you could work in “twelve million mosquitos” at the end!
