I found two small creatures in my pond. I have searched the internet but could not identify them. I think the first one is a flagellate, because sometimes a thin flagella like 'tail' can be seen. The second ones goes crazy from time to time and starts rotating very fast. First one with 63 x objective, second one with 40x and 63x objective.
What did I find in my small pond?

Nice work with the 63x!
First one may be a dinoflagellate, possibly Gymnodinium
Second one is perhaps a Halteria
Very tentative IDs, subject to confirmation by a more knowledgeable person!
