When we moved here, I dug a pond, brought in frog

Toads are more site faithful, however.

I am lucky enough to have slow-worms in my garden. And frogs & toads.

But it's probably just as well we haven't got them here as the cats
wouldn't be kind to them :-(

The local cats have a few I'm sure, but I think they are naturally more
interested in furryfeathery creatures rather than amphibireptiles.
I could do with a pet hedgehog for the allotment :-)

I wonder what sort of thing makes it attractive for them, to induce them
to stick around, apart from food? Hidey-holes? Piles of leaves? A good
book? I don't know.
