Walking out, I came across this frog, well I think it's a frog! Very green and smooth looking for a toad, and the eyes don't seem very toad like either.
Pretty dry for a frog to be on the wander last night.
On the way home, as plain as day even in the night, this young hoglet was out snaffling a worm, the young ones really have been busy in my part of the world. I closed in for a quick shot, then let it be. As I walked off, it shot off like a rocket across the damp grass. Never seen one move so fast!
Oh what the hey, have a bonus picture! Newark's most cluttered bike shop has a feline resident, who obligingly came and sat in the window for some photographs.
Not a bit self conscious at all!
