Land/Water Wildlife

I think I've got something "interesting" in my Wildlife pond, as when I went to just do my weekly check on it I disturbed something when I moved a large pot of marginals in the water. There was quite a large swell of water right in front of me and then a mass of bubbles about 18" X 18" came up......and that, having watched them over the years, ain't no Frog. I sat on the bench by the pool for around 20 minutes but nothing came to the surface so whatever it was/is can hold it's breath for a good while. I'll put a Wildlife trap camera up tomorrow and see if I can capture some images.

 

I'm not sure, lucius, to be honest The size of the swell/bulge in water caught me by surprise particularly as it was right in front of me, and the mass of bubbles that came up and kept coming up was a bit of a shock. I'll put the Wildlife camera up today and see if I can get anything. I've sat every day for a while by the pond since I built it in '93, I wade in it every year to keep it clean and the Frogs will sit around and watch me so I know enough to know what is a Frog and what isn't I'm wondering if it is a Grass Snake, but hoping it's not a Great White or a Croc
