What's living in your back garden?

    I've just found out there is a huge frog living in my back garden! I went down to take a picture of the fella and after viewing the pictures in on the PC it appears that this frog is has a huge frown on his face. My questions are do frogs normally look like this or is this little frog just unhappy and do you have any cool little creatures living in your back garden?

    We get frogs a few times a year, haven't a clue where they come from but generally I just collect them and release them in the local pond or river.
    We also get foxes, we had a family of foxes living under our studio in the back garden for about 6 - 8 months last year. The two parents and four cubs, didn't 'cause any harm.

    For the first time ever in our garden, I saw 2 rats this morning. I got a short movie clip of one of them.

    Hehe, that's what I'd have though, but I was able to put the camera so close to his face that the lense was no more than an inch away from his head. He let me keep it there aswell. It was taken at night so I had to hold the cammera still while the shutter stayed open for about 8 seconds. I've got a few more of him aswell.

    He clearly didn't like what he saw!!!!

    Used to have hedgehogs in our back garden. haven't seen them in years.
    where have hedgehogs gone?

    Frog looks like "Toad" out of "Animals of Farthing Wood" - what a classic!

    try half pressing the button before taking photos, it tends to sort out the focus on a lot of digital cameras

    The shutter was being open for about 6 seconds and I didn't have a tripod. That's why the ones where the camera was being held steady against the concrete ground were more in focus than the ones held in my hand.

    I've a small man from Germany called Peter, he's not exactly above board so don't tell the feds.

    Not Your Ornery Onager


    So, is the frog huge or little? Or just a little bit huge? Did you lick it? What did it taste like?

    I certainly did not lick it. It licked me! Actually, it made some weird sounds at me. Not like the normal "ribbit, ribbit" sounds. It was more like a squeal. The frog squealed at me! It was quite big, but not too big. Just right.

    Hedgehogs... little feckers always hogging our hedges.
    I went out one night and our dog had his face right up against one barking his arse off... poor little hedgehog was all balled up, so I took the dog in and let little sonic make a clean get-away.
    Got some video of him aswell using the night-shot on our camcorder.
