Re: Wildlife Corner
The frogs are back and active in our pond, three of them so far!
It reminds me of this ditty which Mrs Tiz's parents used to sing, I think a result of them having spent some years in the US.
Spring is sprung, the grass is riz.
I wonder where dem birdies is.
They say the birdies on the wing, but that's absurd.
I always thought the wing was on the bird.

I've heard that as well Peter. I had to look it up! I found a doubtful attribution to Ogden Nash but wasn't convinced......

Re: Wildlife Corner
I hope the frogs reappearing are a true harbinger of better weather and don't get caught by a late cold spell!
I love Curlews Wendy. Their song reminds me of Australian Magpies.....
