That was why I was questioning it as I didn't think they'd strayed much further than the SE.

Hee, hee, Isaac had you well and truly fooled ;-) Not sure about your frog, it's difficult to tell from the photos and we don't have them here, indeed they are mainly found in Kent, East Sussex and the London area. The best identifying features are the two dark grey vocal sacs on either side of the mouth.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-74335606066737193552013-04-29T10:20:15.676+01:002013-04-29T10:20:15.676+01:00Wonderful photos - you do live in such a beautiful...Wonderful photos - you do live in such a beautiful part of the country :)<br /><br />Great to get a Nuthatch on the feeders too :) Never had one in the garden here.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-27610109147128858612013-04-29T09:36:19.459+01:002013-04-29T09:36:19.459+01:00Ida works as a boy's name I think?

When the three scraggly kittens arrived last summer, the grey and white was named 'Nellie' after a quick inspection. Next day when we shampooed the little urchins, we discovered Nellie had distinctive boy bits hidden in his tangle of dirty fur. He's still 'Nellie!'Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-75063314855366919552013-04-28T22:29:25.707+01:002013-04-28T22:29:25.707+01:00Well, it is difficult to tell especially when you ...Well, it is difficult to tell especially when you can't get close enough...so Isaac it is then :)ann @ studiohydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615115294267727281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-5015530957647881372013-04-28T22:18:56.744+01:002013-04-28T22:18:56.744+01:00LOL!
