@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah. Actually quite a bunch of them. I have no idea what they are, but in my last forest stroll galleries you can see them, e.g. here together with the tadpoles at the embankment:

The pond itself isn’t too tiny. I will try to make a better photo next time. There are also a few very large fish in this pond. Close to half a meter in length, no idea about the species either. Most of the time they’re submerged, it’s very hard to spot them. I’ve only witnessed them a hand full of times over all these years. One day last year I could see five (I think) specimens. That was by far the best time. Most about 40 cm long, the largest individual measured 50-60 cm I reckon. I usually only hear them splattering somewhere every now and then. But catching sight of them is mostly impossible.

Yeah, I try to avoid these hot hours, too. But my mate had an appointment later, so either we skipped this week again (next weeks don’t look any better) or just did it. What can you do. Definitely will take some water with me next time.
