The Frog in my pond !!!
It's almost midnight and here I am doing late night watering, locking the shed and tidying up the garden furniture when I hear a noise from the pond. Quick as the flash on my camera I point the torch in the direction of the sound and click ................and here is my little visitor.... Mr (or Mrs) Frog. I've not seen him since first thing this morning, I thought he had gone......................

Awwww He's so handsome....(just has that "he" look about him ) LOL Looks like he feels quite at home.
ReplyDeleteoh he is so cute, i'm so thrilled, no idea what sort of a frog or toad he is or if he is a she.... but he is lovely, not as big as i first thought, body length is maybe 2 inches..........I'm going to bed a happy bunny tonight :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't be surprised if he moves around a bit. One day Gina (my granddaughter) and I were working near the pond when all at once,in the middle of the afternoon, our frog just started croaking away. Even more ususual... HE WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A FLOWER BED ! lol At least 20 feet from the pond.
ReplyDeleteAww I'm just so pleased, I hope he stays in my garden, and what I would really like is frogspawn in the pond next year. My sister who lives in France has just found tiny baby newts in her small pond..........and her pond is just an old childs sand pit in the shape of a clam shell that she left out over the winter!!... aint nature wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteNature is wonderful!! Maybe you will have tadpoles. I am very happy for you.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is. My daughter let her small pool go too long without cleaning and the tree frogs moved in... hundreds of tadpoles. (I'm gonna steal some for my pond) lol I love to hear the tree frogs at night. Do you have them where you live?
ReplyDeleteLoretta!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous is 'he'?!

Apparently not........we only have two species of native frog and two species of native toad

ReplyDeleteApparently it is a common frog. I think the toad I caught was not a toad but a frog.
