Had a little "wild camp" on top of Glasgwm last night (the Arans), middle of the night the silence was broken by Grouse - probably alarm call on seeing a fox? This morning, where the sun first hit the llyn (little lake up there) and sun rays on the shallow end, first to warm. I spotted some frogs (in serious romantic mode :o). Being high up (2000ft+), life and sex are a bit behind the lower countries and only two lumps of frogspawn so far.
Oh yes...... estimate a carpet of 400 frogs in a very small area. That's what made it out of the ordinary.
Around a dozen Sand Martins by the Wharfe
We've got them by the Ure too DT. Its great to see them again. I saw over twenty feeding on my Saturday run.

Got my ear nuzzled and snuffled by a lovely piebald horse (a girl has to get her kicks somewhere!;)) and an old collie came over for a tummy rub (not mine, hers). Aren't animals great?
Feeling much better now.:)
Sounds fantastic Hes!Quote:
