My ponds today.

My raised fish pond was completely cleaned out in the spring (as I do every year).
Plants repotted etc.Takes a few weeks to stabilise but today it looks lovely.I am growing Veronica beccabunga (Brooklime) this year and I love the way it is spreading over the pond surface from a relatively small pot.The fish love it.I bought a 2"Golden Tench this year which has grown into a large 6" Golden Orfe!!
The water is really clear,no blanket weed (thanks to Cloverleaf Blanket Answer).
The last photo is the wildlife pond (actually 2 tubs together).

I have never grown it before and like it because it spreads out over the pond surface but you can cut it back if it spreads too much.
They do @TinyGardenGIrl. You can always add a little ramp of logs/rocks/branches etc, just to make sure there's easy access
A pile of rocks/logs just inside the pond also makes a shallower area for birds to bathe, and insetcs to drink.
Although my pond has a beached access for wildlife, I love watching wasps drink from tiny little gaps among stones. They're very regular visitors. Any little pockets of water can be utilised by birds and insects
