Wrong again
July 21st, 2006 Posted in Mundane musings
Only this afternoon I was bemoaning my lack of amphibians in the garden this year.
“I think I let the pond get too low so the frogs must have gone elsewhere,” I moaned.
“Never mind -you’ve got a moorhen.” I may have mentioned this once or twice.
I agreed … but I was wrong.
This evening brought a deliciously cool, refreshing downpour (with suitably spectacular audio-visual accompaniment) and the downpour woke The Frogs. Thousands1 of them were fleeing the pond and making for the opposite side of the garden (for reasons I don’t really understand).
Happy as I was to have my own moorhen (who’s still here, by the way), now I’m an even happier lion. A moorhen and frogs. Jealous?
1 Ok, about a dozen if you want to be accurate.
