NOT SEEING ALL MY CONTACTS PICTURES AGAIN GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Like most insect populations around our way, number of odonata are down this year. On our pond which by now should have tens of darters, I found just 5. This male was jealously guarding its patch.

'WORLD FROG DAY, 20TH MARCH, 2021.'
An individual Common Frog, found in a log pile in the back garden last week. All on its own, I don't know whether it had already visited a spawning site or would be doing soon. Sadly, we don't have a garden pond, but there are houses nearby that do. Exactly what it was doing there that day must remain a mystery1
Frogs are regarded as keystone species, playing important roles in food chains by eating tiny invertebrates and small creatures. They maintain the balance and ensure the health of their chosen environments.
World Frog Day is the largest global platform for educating people and raising an awareness of frogs and other amphibians. It's also a day for reflecting on the extinction of many frog species around the world and for considering our own dwindling UK populations.
World Frog Day sets a date on the calendar, a catalyst for making positive action plans globally, in order to conserve these important and fascinating creatures.
