Trackway with footprints

Prints at White Lion Meadow car park

Wren at White Lion Meadow




Woke this morning to a pair of mallards on our garden pond, and then later on this small, probably male, sparrowhawk eating a starling on the lawn.
.
A walk down to Tesco's showed possible water footprints in the brook nearby, and a later search round the fields near Grocontinental revealed more prints and a couple of latrines. I heard a frog calling, too, which probably means we're due for a pond full of amphibian orgy any week now.

Not long now before some "in the flesh" sightings by the look of things. And it's nice to see some WLM activity.

I thought we'd lost all our frogs but I cleaned the pond out and found 10 zombies - not sure if they will be up to much this year, though.

Fingers crossed for the frogs! I think everything's a couple of weeks behind this year.
