| | How did a frog get into my garden? I have six foot high walls on all sides but I found a frog in my garden the other night.
There is an orchard at the end of my garden with a pond (but no gate between) and other gardens next to me (also without ponds).
So, did it climb or burrow?
Thanks |

| | | Re: How did a frog get into my garden? depends on the size of the frog! is it quite big ? frogs migrate when very small ,sometimes just as big as a thumbnail, so could squeeze through the tiniest gap!

At a guess I'd say it climbed.

| | | Re: How did a frog get into my garden? It is possible a bird was taking it to feed its young, and it dropped it on the way, froggy needs to be near long wet grass and water. Pauline. |

(In the classic sense of the word obviously, as opposed to its alternative interpretation of electrodeposition.  ).
