Great photos! I hope they earn their keep?
ReplyDeleteNo doubt thet try, Deborah.
Delete...and still you have a surfeit of slugs!
ReplyDeleteOne year we had 40 toads (or was it frogs, I can't remember) in the compost heap and sfill the slugs flourished, Mark. The things are just so prolific.
DeleteAww - we have plenty of frogs around here, but not so much in the lizard department. Apparently there is only one type of lizard - a skink - that lives in Ontario but I've never seen any.
ReplyDeleteThe second animak is a newt, Margaret - an amphibian like the toad and frog. Do you have them? I've never seen a lizard on the plot.
DeleteApparently we do have newts - but just as with the skink, I've never seen one.
DeleteThey say that the presence of amphibians is a good sign of a healthy environment. I'm glad to see you have many garden helpers!
ReplyDeleteThe are some fishing lagoons and a few plot holders have ponds, Sue which encourages the amphibians and they are most welcome,
DeleteOh my.....you have me wanting to jump straight into the car and see these guys in person. What's with all the toads this year??? I haven't seen any newts here but have my fingers crossed that they are lurking somewhere, Fanbloomingtastic shots!!!xxx
ReplyDeleteWe always have plenty of these guys on the plot, Dina. We are always carrying them to places of safety when digging or cutting grass.
DeleteThose are beneficial amphibian!! I would like them to visit my garden too! ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are, Malar and are very welcome.
DeletePlease... I don't like frog!
ReplyDeleteOur frogs are all harmless, Endah
DeleteLovely, I haven't seen my toad this year or newts for a couple. The garden is full of frogs though x
ReplyDeleteWe don't tend to get toads or newts in the garden, Jo just frogs.
DeleteThey look as if they are men on a mission! There used to be newts on my plot regularly but I have not spotted one for a couple of years or so :(
ReplyDeleteThe newts were all found amongst the pile od weed control fabric that for the moment isn't being used, Anna.
DeleteNice to see the good guys doing well.
ReplyDeleteI think our site is an amphibian hotspot, Brian. :-)
DeleteBeautiful creatures :)))
