Post by: colpatben on November 19, 2014, 08:51:37 AM
Whilst sweeping leaves from my lawn yesterday I found this little fellow resting in the grass.

He's not there this morning maybe this is why

He may have been an insul(ted ) frog. He wasn't three 'appy as I tried to sweep him away, initially thinking he was a pile of fox :poop:

One of the most eerie sounds I have heard was a Natterjack toad being chased by a cat.  It sounded like a child screaming, worse than a vixen.....

Btw the toad survived...

This morning in the garden the seagulls brought a picnic

Even the Magpie joined in

But the Crow almost missed out

I hope the frog wasn't on the Menu. I expect he hopped off down the frog and toad.

Maybe I will make occasional 'Wildlife in the Garden' posts.

Today in a garden near me.

This chap must have had a restless night.

By Wednesday (1st November) I expect he will be more relaxed.  :dighole:

And not a Toad in sight. :no:

Front Garden.

Full blossom on early spring sunshine.

Not had much to post on here of late.

This cold weather has produced some interesting things to photograph in our front garden,

On the boot lid:
