Topic: sshh! got a frog!

[redimp]

Don't shout too loud but a frog has moved into the pond I haven't got.  Lottie inspector came round for annual visit yesterday, about 5mins after I had arrived and first heard a plop.  I threw the spare liner over it and she stopped for a short chat and did not notice it.  The wildlife Gods are shining on me

There is one in the pond I haven't got, too, Redclanger.  It has taken up residence under one of my planters.  All I have in the way of water is a bird bath.  Lots of yummy slugs & earthworms though!

I think my frogs are on strike at the moment :(  Went out to the garden last night after it finally stopped raining and one of the two frogs that currently reside in the pond was hopping about quite oblivious to the scores of slugs covering my walls, plants and patio!

I even nudged a few in his general direction but he still didn't seem too interested.  After a good ten minutes of trying I finally gave up on the frog and took action myself - Several good kicks, and a few serious slug headaches later and there wasn't a slug in sight.  I also scrapped a few of the smaller ones up and lobbed them into the pond where the biggest of my orfe decided he'd have a late night snack :)
