That crazy toad lets me get up close and personal and take a picture. All the other toads that I kind of protected over the years in my yard hop away. He is living at the back wall of our home beside the back door.. I can walk in and out the back door and he just sits there like he's home.

We never see toads. Once in a while I can hear them in the distance.

Yes I am... i was excited about catching him bugs but now I have read that I should not allow him to eat wild caught bugs due to parasite (and other things) exposure.. :-((. Makes sense though . Captive Bred’s have no immunity to such...
What kind of bugs does the little one eat? I may have missed the new name...

I like all the toads that have lived in my yard but he's special. I usually only see or find one each year. I'm sure this is the same toad from last year because he's got the same habits. He enjoys sitting on my bags for recycling cans. I think I'm hearing him in the mornings before sunrise. He sounds like a baby bird that won't stop singing .I think I'll make him a place to be safe and give the little one a name. {since I've been adopted}

Hear hear! I'm right with you Lena!
I hate it when I see people releasing hundreds of balloons - even if it's done to mark the death of someone. There must be worthwhile ways to remember the dead than to risk killing wildlife. Giving the money to charity would be far better.
I also hate those chinese lanterns that have become popular. They not only start fires, but the wires in them also harm farm animals and wildlife.
Some stores have banned them in the UK but not enough!
OK rant over - calm down and breathe Lyn!

And me!

Both annoy me SO much!

Good mornooning all! We are just waiting for daughter to arrive before heading to Luton to watch Luton Town’s last match of the season.

They’re definitely promoted, but this match will determine the club that wins the League.

Luton (currently top) are playing Oxford Utd (12th)

Barnsley (currently 2nd) are playing away at Bristol Rovers (16th)

Luton must do better than Barnsley to win the league. The matches are on simultaneously and everyone will be watching their phones as well as the pitch!

Happy Saturday all. My pix from yesterday arent downloading properly.... :) so no pix updates. So far, so good and the weather is cooperating. Sun half day yesterday, then partly overcast. Paddled by some islands that were absolutrly filled with nesting birds....all types of gulls as well as big brown pelicans! We did manage to paddle out to where the Atlantic Ocean comes crashing in to the barrier island chain. Rugged, nice.

And! A very large green turtle popped up right in front of me! Big round head, flippers and a cute green slippery wet back. All in an instant, so no pix.

Today, off to Bear Island.. Have a great Saturday. Enjoy.

I feel like I’m getting consumed by the CDR, I spend more time here now then anywhere else in the forum, that’s not necessarily a bad thing:D

It’s easy to get lost in the gloom here [emoji23]

Explaining to your mates that you’re hanging out online with a group of people many of whom are old enough to be your parent or grandparent might be harder!

*stern face on* I hope you’re working on your GCSEs though!
