Warm start to August

Sorry, does this sound like complaining?  Well it is not.  Happy to have warm weather; getting up to the sun, window open, wearing light clothes; it is more than welcome.

It is surprising to find a lot of these little froggies hopping around the wood considering the temperatures.  I would have thought they would seek out water in the lake, but then again it is full of hungry fish, so maybe it is better to risk the woodland bird population instead.


Just to show you how small they are, here is one in my hand.

Does anyone know what these are called?  It must be an adult and therefore not the ubiquitous common frog.

The Caravan Club paddock is well-booked

A tractor in the north field has been making hay.  As the day cooled into evening the air was filled with the smell of drying grass.

Tried to take a picture of the carp jumping, but was too slow so all we have are rings of bright water.



It doesn't get much better than this.
