I Have Another Visitor..

I do hope your new garden guest stays on Lincslass - he's a stoater!!!!
I was busying myself today cutting back some of the perennials which are just a pile of mush - it wasn't long before my resident robin came a visiting - he/she spent ages pecking around the soil I had cleared. Try as I might I could not get close enough to get a picture.
Lovely pictures - the boys I see are like my Oscar and pretty much prefer the horizontal position at this time of the year :)

hope toady likes his new home! those goldfinches are beautiful, i never get them here :-(

Its amazing where they turn up! It'll be fine. I often lifted a slab up , especially near the pond and found them. You would think they would get squashed, wouldn't you!

I could do with a few of those amphibian visitors here as we have slugs aplenty..Great blog, and terrific photos L/lass..\0/x

What a fat one - I wonder how many slugs he's eaten over the summer?

Nice you found a toad Sue. I hope he eats all your slugs :o) There was one here for a few years. Haven't seen him this year though.
The boys certainly enjoyed their day :o)

I bet he made you jump,Sue! I hope he has found another place to live..do you think he will come back to his former hiding place? you are sol ucky to have Goldfinches,we have some nearby ,but never seen them in my garden..I should really get some suitable seeds for them..will add thm to my list...lovely blog and pics :o)

Im sure Mr Toad will love his new home with all the local amenities! I moved one a few weeks back he wasforever patrolling the patio and I was afraid he may have got squashed, so he now lives around the pond area!
Your two bays look so comfy Im not surprised they remained static lol

As you all know I always have a multitude of frogs but thats the first time I`ve ever spotted a toad, big kid me, I quite excited..
Another wet and dreary day, been shopping with my daughter and found a lovely plant in Homebase, seemed a shame to leave it there, it was huge and there were two in one pot, we each now have added gaura lindheimer to our perenials, very pretty plant, sometimes shopping is not a bad thing, lol.....

He's lovely Sue, I used to have pet toads when a child ( I don't think they knew they were pets). They always seem more friendly than frogs and don't mind being held in the hand for a while:-)

We have a toad in the garden but I rarely see it. TT was asking if the slugs eat my lupins. They are not a big problem in the garden but I forgot Mr Toad was there helping out. I do not use slug pellets in case the thrushes eat snails which have eaten them.
