How you even SEE a bat to catch it in the middle of the night, I have no idea. Numerous baby rabbits, the tiniest of tiny voles and fieldmice...and not once, but twice, was I treated to a live bird flying around my bedroom first thing in the morning. But never a frog, despite the fact that they were hopping all over the garden for the taking.

We thought there were no frogs in our pond this year but the mister spotted one (I should say it made him jump) the other day when he was moving one of the marginal plants. That night, the cats wouldn't come in from the garden. When we went to investigate, a strange squeaking sound was coming from where one of the cats was sitting. Unfortunately, Buzz had also spotted the frog and wasn't content just to observe it. Hopefully, our rescue attempt wasn't too late. Said frog hasn't been seen since.lovethosecupcakeshttp://www.lovethosecupcakes.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595250102120311644.post-24698957765698284812010-07-05T16:53:54.027+01:002010-07-05T16:53:54.027+01:00I have a similar tale about the lively chipmunk an...I have a similar tale about the lively chipmunk and the great escape from the kitchen to the wild outdoors from whence he came.
