The 'Beast from the East' returns!

Hopefully just a 'mini' beast if the weather forecasters have it right!
My garden is blanketed with snow, to say it is a 'mini' return it dropped a lot of snow in the process!

To think that on Friday I saw my first Ladybird of the year and earlier in the week a Bumblebee was dotting around the pansy flower pots!

I have had  a sad sight the last few days. During the last week 2 frogs were found dead in my garden and on Saturday (17th) 3 dead frogs found in different areas of a lawn. I wonder if it is one of the foxes that visit, a cat, rat or maybe one of the corvids!
I am setting the camera trap down by the fish pond to see if the 'species' can be caught on camera! No tracks visible this morning due to the snow cover but I doubt much was about with the snow falling throughout the night. The fish pond has never attracted many frogs, maybe that is just as well.



 
                                                          Not a happy gnome!

I cleared an area for ground food, guess which was the first bird to take advantage?
 
Snow, snow go away, Spring is on it's way!
(hopefully) ;-)

  2. I have only ventured out to clear an area to put ground food down for our feathered friends! A cold, cold wind!
