What a whopper! I stood at the back door to call the cat in last night and heard a 'splosh' as something jumped into the pond. Bet it's not as big as this one though! :o)

Lovely that you have Mr, Toad visiting. We used to have one living in our large greenhouse when we lived down the road, but here I haven't seen one, although my neighbour across the road told me that there was one in his garden the other day.

Not seen one for ages in the garden, think the dry weather has made them hide under the rocks. lol. thanks for looking in Lindak, I hope you find a toad or frog soon in your garden. They do help to keep down the slugs and snail population, which is always a big big bonus here. lol. :O)

We've certainly has a lot of slugs and snails here although the hedgehogs help with that problem. I throw the snails on to the tarmac where the birds come down for them and the slugs I hand collect and they go to slug heaven. I don't like putting down any pellets if I can help it because of the hedgehogs. They tend to get sick if they eat anything that has been killed by the pellets. We had a huge orangey brown slug go across the lawn the other evening but I got him......

lol there are some huge slugs this year - I threw one to the cockrel the other day and even he would not tackle it. lol. very big. Not seen any hedgehogs in the garden for a while but we are fenced in to keep out the rabbits so presume they stay in the wood and play in there, I do so like hedgehogs they are special. :O)))

They say we have an invasion force of 6 inch slugs. They are called Spanish slugs and the chap on the TV talking about them said someone in Norfolk found them in his garden. Apparently they do a lot of damage just have a look on the website it gives more information.
