    My frogs lived very happily side by side with hundreds of slugs. They would line the same pond.

    @Fire Aw that's a shame. I had one frog in my garden about 5 years ago and I saw him a couple of times and then it vanished. It's only when I put this old sink down last year that it has attracted them. I do hope yours return for you!

    I agree @Jellyfire it is amazing actually how much pride it makes you feel. When I saw the little babies I did feel this overwhelming feeling that I must look after them!

    @Fairygirl love that photo of the frog on your lawn. Looks like he's sunbathing :)

    It's amazing how frogs can "vanish". We had over 200 in our pond one year, but when they'd finished mating you'd hardly know there were any! No doubt they dispersed around the neighbourhood a bit, but ...

    Not having any pets I would be (am) very happily steward to frogs, toads, nesting birds and bees. Bees are using the drilled logs on the shed roof this year, we have sparrows under the roof and are very much hoping for swifts to take up residence - Air BnB. Missing the frogs, though.

    OH has a cat, but she's never really figured out frogs (the cat, not OH). My mum had frogs and a cat and the cat was forever bringing in frogs that seemed to end up wrapped in cat hair. Mum carefully unpicked it all and then set the frog free. At which point ... well you get the idea.

    A frog has arrived in my (new) pond! He's a nocturnal chap and I only occasionally see him during the day. Fairly sure it's just the one - though his patterning looks quite different here...
