Who said I was naked??!!

We have baby frogs in the garden..have to be careful when cutting the grass   have to set the blades up high (or dont bother cutting it)  as one can see little frogs  jumping about in front of the lawn mower..I accidently cut the leg off one  and I saw this 3 legged frog jumping about for a long time.. I live beside a massive peat bog  Peat decays to coal  and I live in the coal pit mangers office ...so very wet area ..we have a wee pond behind the house  in the spring when the frogs are going to spawn you will see the frogs making their way up the track to this pond to lay their eggs with another frog on their backs hanging on as it is also needed to feriilise the frog spawn....amazing sight ..all these frogs going to one place. Birds of prey paradise..and Herons   On the moor there are very large puddles which some frogs lay their eggs  and you can see them as tadpoles swimming about  but as the sun starts evaporating the puddles it is a race against time for the baby frogs /..tadpoles to get their legs and become frogs before the puddles dry up>   nature lesson over... Frogs are all right Wendy  but Toads  not so nice  we have them too..Canmore once brought a hedgehog??!!!! into the house through the dog door  ...what a gentle mouth he must have had??
We now have builders building houses on this peat???!!!  right up to the pond??  they are not doing very well in the selling department    I wonder why...
