Cuthbert returns for a Visit

We had an unexpected visitor to the trug pond today - Cuthbert, one of our earliest graduates, came back to visit. As you can see, he is now about 1.5 cm long and a fine figure of a frog. We first saw him jumping across the rockery towards the pond and was stunned by the way he dwarfed the newer froglets, many not even half his size.



Cuthbert stayed for an hour or so and regaled the youngsters with exciting stories from the undergrowth around the trug pond - of fighting vicious slugs, ambushing spiders and nearly being stepped on while crossing the lawn. It certainly sounds jolly thrilling out there. Before going Cuthbert gave a death-defying demonstration of how to climb the ivy in the pursuit of food.
