Ponds of high wildlife value come in many different forms. Often they are in sunny positions, support lots of different plants and hold water all year round. However, woodland ponds with few, if any, plants may be very important for invertebrates. Some ponds dry up in mid-summer, but these may be home to rare plants and animals that are specifically adapted to this event.
