Converting a pond, re homing the wildlife

In the process of a small project,  converting an unwanted pond as the owners have two small children.  The wildlife have been re homed and the sides of the pond have been punctured to slowly release the water.  This will hopefully leave enough water at the bottom for all the new bog planting. James my Landscape brother in law,  traveled with slopping  buckets of frogspawn to give the babies a lovely new home.
