There's now a few well fed frogs in my small garden pond. Getting the
mealworms was simple but their delivery to the frogs was not so easy because
the frogs would not eat them in the water and even the fish seemed a bit
reticent too! Of every 5 I threw trying to get them to land under the
fuchsias, 4 went in the water!

Fortunately my son had left a length of aluminium tube in my shed so
threading it through the fuchsias to rest on a ledge of the tufa ensures
delivery of a meal right in front of some frogs!

I think a heron has visited, there seems to be a fewer number of frogs.

Frogs are amphibians, ie they live both on land and in water. They spend
most of the year on land, coming to water in spring to breed (and some
also spend winter in water). Breeding is over for this year, so the
frogs will be dispersing. You'd expect to see fewer. We go from nearly
200 in breeding season to perhaps two dozen using the pool as somewhere
to keep cool in high summer.
