A rather sad discovery!

You may remember that frog who sat for ages outside one of our back windows? He was still there when I went to bed near to midnight but had disappeared the next morning.

OH has just cleaned out behind the BBQ and among the dead leaves there was a dead frog. He must have been ill and I never knew. <3

Seaton, Dermot! Not far from where my aunt lived. I remember taking the back road to Seaton, down Cat hole Lane more years ago than I care to remember! :-D

A lovely ramble this early morning along Seaton's beautiful beach. Calm sea gently lapping the shore - Heaven on earth.

..... and now, after his morning stroll around his kingdom, OH tells me that we seem to have a baby hedgehog in the garden again, judging from the droppings on his almost-pristine lawn. :-D

OH tells me that around London there are more than 20,000 parakeets, at one time the largest population outside Australia.

I do remember getting used to kookaburras when we lived there but, funnily enough, I didn't recall hearing parakeets calling until OH told me to think of rosellas and other species.

You can see my knowledge of wildlife is nowhere near as good as OH's.

I am usually a very early riser and many mornings recently, while I have been sitting at the breakfast table in the kitchen a blaclbird has come to sit on the step of our patio door. He/she (I have no idea) lands, hops onto the step, takes a look at me inside then turns his back and sits for a while looking out over the garden. It may be territorially-minded. :-S
