In our case - when the man with the digger was free.
It was May btw and the pond looks like it has always been there. We had the benefit of non-stop rain in May/June so it filled quite easily from the water butts.Le Sarramea https://jgsgardening.blogspot.com/

As you can see from the replies above: any time is a good time.

I dug a wildlife pond beside my raised borders. This year I hardly had any slug damage, I don't know why that was, but I'm hoping the frogs were eating the slugs...perhaps eating them before the slugs had a chance to grow too big. I hope that's the case anyway.The best things in life are not things.

Probably not in the middle of winter as the ground will be frozen and you could break your spade, but any other time is fine. Don't forget - as BIG and DEEP as you can make it - with sloping sides / shelves and ramps for the unfortunates who will inevitably fall in (and I am not counting the numerous cats and chickens here, they can get out by themselves). As soon as it is done wildlife will appear. So enjoy.The cats' valet.
