Today's Garden Visitor....

[gness]

A speckled bush cricket.....and he's fascinating to watch.....

cor !!
Please tell me Mr Toad won't eat him/her.

You lucky, lucky woman!!

[gness]

I was worried about that, Alba......but cricket...who now also needs a name......thinking of Root......is in the front garden and nameless toad has been advised to stay in the back garden...... :-)

[albaqwerty]

Root sounds good to me.

I do apologise, but I can't get past the thought of calling the toad Eddie.

(and it is absolutely nothing to do with an ab'er in any way, shape or form)

[scooping]

Awesome. Well done you.

Ahhh.....thank you, Dave.........he is still there in exactly the same place....just eating little round holes in the plant.....x

[sunny-dave]

I think I'd put up with a few holes for such a lovely creature to be visiting :)
