One of our cats found an interesting prey hiding in a box bush. She harrassed it long enough to chase it out of the bush and it turned out to be a frog. She caught it instantly, but quickly had to release it. Obviously it released some nasty chemicals, for the cat was foaming at the mouth within a minute. We put the dazed, but unharmed, frog in our brand new pond, where it seems to have made itsself at home.

Our rosy-red minnows have only been in our brand new pond for a few weeks, but there’s a male busily protecting a clutch of eggs underneath a tiny pond-lily leaf. They may hatch any time now. Exciting.

This morning I spotted a bluetit seaching for insects in our magnolia stellata. Such a cheerful sight I wanted to post the picture, even if it isn’t that wonderful (small bird, big distance, average zoom lens).

Photo impression of our visit to the Millingerwaard on the river Waal. There are beavers, which we unfortunately didn’t see, but we spotted their activities.

A few weeks ago I spotted them in our neighbour’s garden and now they’ve discovered the bird food in our garden: long-tailed tits.
I just think they are adorable!
