Door Bouncers
31st July 2019
The combination of warm dampish evenings and the attraction of the outdoor lights have been attracting a variety of visitors to come calling at the door.
Most nights we have a jumpy little group of various sized frogs and toads. Fat ones, thin ones, large ones, small ones. I don't mind what shape or size they are as I love to find them in the garden, especially lurking by the hostas like nightclub door minders.
By morning they have mostly disappeared, the toads retreat back to under the hedge and the frogs I have discovered go into an old tin baby bath amongst the potted fuchsias!
However sometimes the toads, who are a little more lethargic, linger long enough for a photo. They always look grumpy whereas I think Frogs often look smiley, probably because they know they can out jump me and toads know they are stuck for a while in front of the lens! Note the absence of frog photos in this posting but I will persevere!
