It’s really all about the frogs!

Having heard, I thought, a frog jumping into the water when I was tackling the pond, today I have hard evidence that they are back:

And not just one, but two:

They’re quite different, and one is much larger than the other.

Now I know this will sound ridiculous, but the presence or otherwise of frogs in my little plastic pond has always been a touchstone for me as to whether or not my garden was working as a wildlife friendly environment.  I have been sad not to have seen them for a while. And today is therefore a very good day.
