I found a toad with a squashed head under one of my walkboards.  Ouch!

It's great to see some wildlife surviving and adapting despite the ever encroaching housing estates isn't it.  :)

We have frogs, hedgehogs the usual flutter of birds and flipping foxes. While the foxes are interesting to watch at 3 in the morning they are noisy and often a pest. They dig up all sorts of things in the garden, chew plant labels (the latest game) and generally attempt to kill anything they can get their pointy little jaws onto.

I miss the sand lizards, slow worms, toads and grass snakes that were common around here when I was a child. Few children will have seen them unless they popped up on their computer screens / games consols or ipads.  :(
