      Some of the frog spawn this year. I think the cold may have affected it since. Cross your fingers!

                  Two Moorhens moved into our pond last week and are now building a nest. (Scrappy affair) :)

                  They won't let me take a pic of them together (maybe it's an illicit liaison) so here's just a pic of one. They look very elegant when they walk around on the patio but scoot into the reeds and bulrushes as soon as I open the door. :(
