oh-oh-oh, haven't blogged for almost two weeks, but a string of visitors and the last days of term have made our busy life even busier. speaking of visitors (yes, more later!) we have found a beautiful species of rana temporaria in the bird bath.
there is one large clump of spawn (you can see it on the right) and mother frog has spent the first week or so watching it.
she was so perfectly motionless that she not only fooled me (easy) but also our two cats (less easy) and the 12 other cats and foxes who come to drink here.
as the bird bath is not exactly large we wonder what it will look like when all 100+ eggs turn into tadpoles.
at least the other visitors took their kids back home with them - but then rana probably thinks it's her garden and we are actually the intruders...
