Garden wildlife
Local July 19th, 2008This little chap was hopping around the edge of our lawn the other day. I picked him up to say hello, and he was kind enough to pose for a couple of pictures…
That picture’s a bit misleading in terms of proportion. It’s only when you zoom out to see my hand in full that you realise how tiny he is. Barely out of tadpole school.
And now, having seen that one, my eyes are now accustomed to distinguishing a couple of his siblings from the spiders and insects scurrying around in the garden. I’m just amazed that a passing cat hasn’t eaten any of them yet…

Found loads of frogs in our garden when we moved, all living in the long, unkempt grass, where I presume it was dark and damp enough for them. Can’t see what pond they came from mind.
Now the grass is cut, they’ve all migrated to hiding in the plants in the borders - not that it stops the cat finding them and toying with them.
You got a pond near you, or are they nomadic frogs as we’ve got?
