Just had to share this with members of the NG - our pond was only
finished at the end of September, and while clearing leaves today I
was delighted to discover (and replace) a huge frog! Don't know what
breed, but it was unusually browny-red on top - perfectly camouflaged
by the oak leaves. ( Will try to google for it.)

Made my day.

Lucky you ))))))

While I was clearing leaves out of our little pond today, I discovered a
tadpole!!!!! How on earth can we have tadpoles in mid November? !!!!!!
