Rory was over the moon to get an email and photos for Ursula, Erica and Greg today and was so excited he wanted to share it with everyone else.
Dear Rory
We have been trying to
get a photo of the frogs for you.
Last Saturday we thought
we would go to the pond to look. As we arrived we could see there was someone
else already there.
'Hey Greg what are you
doing?'
'Erica keep your voice
down, if you want to see the frogs you need to stand still and be quiet. If you
move about they will see you and think you're a big bird come to eat them'
'Big bird??? What's he
talking about?'
'Lets just look and see
if we can spot them'
We looked and looked but
all we could see was frog spawn.
Maybe Greg was right!?
Eventually we had to
give up but Greg didn't come back to the house with us. In fact we didn't see
him until much later when he came running into the house shouting
'Quick, put the plug in
the bath'
Can you believe it, he
had caught a frog.
'I know how much Rory
was looking forward to seeing our frog so I thought this was the only way to
photograph one!'
So Rory there's your
photo as promised. You'll be glad to know that we didn't keep it there long and
it's now safely back with the others in the pond.
Love from
Ursula, Erica and Greg
Thank you so much Ursula, Erica and Greg for your lovely email and photos. Rory is thrilled and will be replying soon.
The inclusion of Big Bird was a master stroke. great story, I am sure Rory is delighted.
ReplyDeleteI used to love the Frogspawn days when I was young. Fascinating biology....right before your very eyes.
ReplyDeleteBet that Rory is delighted....although I can't say the same for me as I have to admit that I don't like Frogs!
Loved the way the stones were piled up to allow the pond wildlife to get in and out easily. A sign of some good wildlife nature lovers living there.
Ooooh a handsome beastie and a good story!
