Thank you Rollo, I have looked at it not too sure if I did it correctly, but I scored NIL

I can't say I do, but I do remember Kermit

do you remember the game from the 80s - Frogger?

:-D :-D :-D

They are probably organising a leapfrogging road block as we speak :-D

Lolly. I thought I recognised some of them last time I was there. However it is rather a long drive from the house to the big pool, I don't think they would manage the duel carriage way

Rollo is absolutely correct, they probably could have saved themselves the drive, in the next couple of days they will be croaking back in their own pond, if not they will definitely return to breed :-D

Bit like homing pigeons ;-)

Yes Rollo I am aware of the problems and the need to protect the frogs. I have helped clear the pond several times over the years as they tend to take over. This year there were more than ever, my friends daughter has three young children ages five six and seven, and want to keep them and bring them indoors. The big pond is the best and kindest way to deal with them.

I am not a lover of the edible ones :-D

English frogs are not the sort you can eat.

They are protected by The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 in as much as buying and selling frogs is illegal but otherwise you can move them around etc.

An older act does not allow cruelty to amphibians so my other half has to indulge her barbarisms in her native land.

FROGS ARE IN TROUBLE their numbers have dropped precipitately. They are fun to watch and an important part of the food chain ( tadpoles and adults both ). They do not really like to be taken very far from where they are used to living and have a strong tendency to hop right back whatever the dangers.

Let them be.

Totally harmless- they eat insects and assorted bugs etc and will not harm anybody's garden.

My friend has just phoned me to tell me she has spent most of today helping her daughter to clear out the pond in her garden. They have removed six buckets full of frogs, but then did not know what to do with them, so they transported them in her car to the big pool near where they live. What else can you do with six buckets of frogs? :-S :-S
