If you build it.............

...they will come.

I am pleased to report that Mr Toad has moved into his new compact and bijou residence (AKA the dustbin lid pond) which is now teeming with wildlife - just like the lady on Gardeners World said it would be, and adding so much interest to my tiny garden.


I hope he gets himself a lady friend - I'd love to have frogspawn next spring. xxxx

How cool is that. I'm sure it won't be long before he's tempting all those lady frogs back to his new 'pad'.

Hope you're having a fab weekend.

How lovely. Perhaps I have got room for a pond if all ita takes is a dustbin lid.

Rebecca said...

Amazing!

I bet he thinks he's in toad heaven finding a pond in your garden he can have all to himself. He may eventually invite a lady friend round then you may have to build an extension:)

Lovely! We haven't seen our toads (or are the frogs??) this year yet - so I don't know if they managed to survive the harsh winter) - fingers crossed that they're just being evasive.

He looks so 'at home'. I found a toad when i was gardening today. He looked so cross that I had disturbed him!!

Its great that it not only works (attracting wildlife) but looks so good too! A real toad hall.

Wonderful - I thought it was a great idea when you last posted about it and now you've reminded me we are definitely going to give it a go, just need to find a bin lid from somewhere. Perhaps we can get our newts back!
