So get digging. Not a moment to lose.

Thanks. So can anyone offer any tips on creating a low-cost, but effective
pond? Can it be done by lining a hole with black polythene, for example?

Have a butchers at:

There are a lot more sites but these two should get you going. I'd go
for a flexible liner rather than premade thing. Don't use polythene -
it won't last. Go for Butyl which will outlast all of us if done
right.

You may find it better to dig the hole before you get the liner. It's
easy to get carried away with size/shape/depth which dictates the size
of liner!

Bradshaws are one source of a wide range of liner options (and
underlay which protects the liner). They're at:
