    This is my small life size stone frog which is in the shallows of the pond. [​IMG]

    He sits there day after day doing no harm but during the night something will knock him over and leave him lying upside down. Obviously something in the area doesn't like him. Any ideas???:scratch::dunno::snork:

      I was thinking that, James, but the frog hasn't got a smile on it's face:heehee:

      Or has it???:snork: I know I've got frogs in the pond area but despite it's small size the frog is fairly heavy and would take some shifting.:dunno:

      Could be a water vole or rat even trying to take the teratory as well lol. You could buy one of those ebay special camcorders sset up a red bulb light and play back the following morning!

      That's not a bad idea, James:ideaIPB::snork: I might just do that as I've always been curious as to what happens down by the pond at night.:scratch:

      Or a green lamp may work better depending if the cam has a night time ffilter. Red would reflect back of retinas of most animals etc and shouldnt attract too many bugs :)

            And usually mutters "God, not again" before writing it. The staff have to stop him climbing on the chair and kicking it away after modifying his best tie.:snork:
