Cloudy water, two months old

I built my pond two months ago, and the water became very cloudy, greyish and smells like rotten egg now. I thought the water fountain and oxygenated plants would be enough but I don’t think so anymore.

I bought an aerator now, it has been 2 days. I know it takes time to everything normalise, 2/6 w.

I just would like to know if this is a normal process, should I keep calm? Any advice for the smell?

I just saw this tiny guy in the edge of the barrel, how is it?

Does anyone know what is this? It measures less then 1cm

Saw this one on top of the frogbit and it escaped right after the photo was taken.

If anyone knows why it is, the pond is from UK

Pound visitor - Myathropa florea

At first I thought it was a wasp, but I googled it and it says it is Batman hoverfly, Myathropa florea.

Batman Hoverfly is actually a fly, that evolved to look like a wasp, and it seems that it lays its eggs near water sources.

what do you think?🤔

Help to identify

Just saw them on the water today and I wonder what they are. And if it is a good or bad sign for ponds.

How to make the pond safe for birds bathing?

I created my wildlife pond in an old barrel. I tried to create a shallow area for birds to be able to bathing and drink water. However I did not imagine that magpies would try to bathing there. As everything is supported by bricks it was not enough for their size and weight, they did a mess and knocked out some pots under the water, I think it can be dangerously for them as it is right now. I want to do better and create a better support, I need some ideas to make a better support for shallow area.
