No, you're not alone, ladies. I share your distaste for captivity. However, there are occasions, as Kedi points out, where it is a species' salvation. I am currently hooked on the series "The Lion Man" where Craig Busch devotes all of his life to breeding lions and tigers at his park in New...

Hi Whis4ey Yes another great shot:thumb:

Morning Kathy. Yes we have a small pond. Its been here for several years on account of we used to suffer badly with flood water after heavy rain, so a the pond acts as a reservior for the excess. We have had frogs for longer then I can remember and lately we have the excitement of an almost...

Apologies glenw, I missed your posting but you appear to be correct ... the second photo down on the forum on your first link looks exactly the same and it was spotted in Portugal ... what a beautiful tail! I couldn't get your other two links. Hello, strongy, hope you had a nice break away...

Thanks Rosa :luv: xx

hi clueless the quarry nature reserve were i took these pics is 5 mins from my home, its north east uk close to whitley bay on the coast

yep thats the one. Yep its windy sounding. Last night one of them brought food and saw the other feeding the chicks with it, then they traded places and the other one flew off. So far I can't tell male from female they both take turns sitting on the nest. But there are two chicks. So cute....

Maybe you'll get him(?) to feed from your hand one day like Walnut.

cheers dave i have to do something cos its looking scrawny.I've used this stuff but dont know if i used enough of it???

I saw 2 new birds to put on my list yesterday - I went for a walk around the harbour in my lunch hour and saw a bird I later identified as a Rock Pippet and when I got home there was a Brown Linnet feeding on the niger seed in the garden - a deceptive name as it had red plumage on it's head and...

very sad pics those and so small birds to.

Oh that was only one of about 20 patches all of a similar size and many smaller groups huddled round the bases of young hazel it was actually quite strange seeing so much of one plant that I'd never herd of:hehe:although I have seen the less common Ivy Broomrape (Orobanche hederae)in Pelham...

Thanks Pro ... we've never seen such in all our years here so it was quite a 'shock' but not something that frightened either of us. It must be climate change ...

I wonder if he is some sort of Dorian Gray? I love the detailed first shot, Dave :gnthb:

I thought it was the Lacanuckie Bird.

The Slow worms in our polytunnel rest under the mypex ground covering in the daytime next to and sometimes on a red ant colony, they must imune to their bites, as their scales are very smooth maybe the ants can't get a grip. I'll try for some pics.

I have just posted a new thread about this as I didnt see yours. I never knew the frogs returned and would feel sick if the same thing happened to me. i now think Ill give the spawn away as I cant face it.

I have been given frog spawn but dont have a pool. I initially thought I would put a recycling bin in the ground with some aquatic plants but my partner said I should put them in my wishing well . If I do should I clean it out and can I use tapwater to refill it. How do I keep it from being...

Our frogs are still hiding (except for the brief sightings!!) I put all the spawn safely in an empty basket, and we are sure there has been 2 more clumps laid on top, as the basket is overflowing - so I'm going to have to put some in a 2nd basket!!!! Still haven't found any locals with...
