Orgy in a pond!
February 26th 2010, frog day in my garden. Twelve days later than last year, no doubt because we have had a colder winter. At least 20 frogs were counted there today. Difficult to be exact as they dive when they see any movement so I had to stay very still.
My pond desperately needs a new liner which keeps being put off because of the frogs. It will have to wait another year as the cold wet and freezing conditions have made the task impossible this winter. Maybe it will have to be done late summer when the tadpoles have grown and left.

Furry caterpillars.
I was only commenting on Friday about the rarety of furry caterpillars. Used to find them all the time when I was a child. I did actually find one today whilst cutting back my geraniums. It is the larva of the White Ermine Moth.
A Clew of Worms
This is one collective noun I had to look up. never heard of it before. I found an enormous clew of worms in my compost bin. I now expect some excellent compost.
