A visitor to Frog End

Frog End has had a visitor for a couple of nights running. He has upset a few plant pots and knocked a few logs around.






Hopefully Helen and Ian will not mind that and think his visits are in a good cause - there are certainly fewer slugs around this morning.

In the garden at Frog End again

Where the patio will be; the kitchen garden and the greenhouse.


On Sunday there were three juvenile Goldfinches in the garden.


The juvenile lacks the colourful head of the adult bird.


It’s no use cheeping at me - I’m a baby too!

In the middle of the night on Sunday night / Monday morning I was at the back door having a quiet smoke when a Hedgehog emerged from right beneath my feet. Needless to say the camera was upstairs and by the time I had gone up for it there was no sign of her. I waited ages but there was no noise and they are loud and shuffley creatures so I suspect she had zoomed out at the bottom of the garden. Hedgehogs are always depicted as rolling into a ball when threatened but in my experience they just as frequently run away and they can get up a fair speed when they wish.
