And quickly getting back on topic,our frog population has exploded this year,50 froglets in half an acre of grass and I did not get time to survey the rest of the place.All due to leaving well enough alone, little taddies had lots to eat besides each other, they do well where there is lots of algae.

After hearing this I went straight down to Morrisons and bought a couple of packets! Not that the ponds are terribly green, they've not seen a lot of sunshine, let's face it
