Richard Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The tadpoles in our pond have just changed into frogs - tiny little black things with legs (as you might expect - but don't tell anybody French). I don't know if you can see them in this picture - you have to look really closely. There's loads of them in the crack in the stones.

Charlottechicken Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I like frogs really dont like spiders though Snap! Frogs are lovely, not at all slimy, but surprisingly strong when they try and wriggle out of your hand! I didn't know that they could make an awful screaming sound when in danger , I found this out when one was cornered by two of my girls whilst free ranging.

Couperman Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I love frogs, toads and spiders as they all eat fly's I don't like wasps much though, but love bees. I have never been stung by a wasp, but have been stung by a bee, I felt soo guilty wasps sting cos they can, bees do it in self defence. kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Lovely, Richard! I'm a froggy fan too. We had loads of tadpoles but I don't know what they're doing at the moment. I love it when you're looking in the pond and suddenly you spot a tiny, perfect little frog . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Oh noooo, you're all so cruel to me & Christian. We don't do frogs! I knew it was a bad idea to click on this post! Their eyes are so goggly!!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I love froggies too. No pond in our garden, but loads of toads hiding form the chooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I suddenly heard a screeching from the garden yesterday - chooks had found a frog hiding between the hedge and the wall so for the second time in two weeks it was one chicken under each arm and they got marched back to their run while I hurriedly put together a makeshift fence comprising of expandable trellis, a watering can and spare roosting bars to protect the frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 We've got quite a few little newts as well - but I haven't been able to get a photo. The Toadpoles (is that what you call the toad equivalent?) have just got small back legs and are lurking in the blanket weed - so I'm waiting for the little toads. Sad to say I have witnessed Georgie and Doris fighting over a frog - holding one leg each and tugging. Not a pretty sight. Still, that's nature; they did the same over worms and pasta!
