Imagine the scene, clear night sky with crisp stars across the sky, moonlight reflected in the expanse of Avington Park Lake and with a wall of sound emanating from the water......
A very distinctive sound of a frog/toad chorus
A good bucketful of toads were rescued from the road and the car park area - these are residing in my garage waiting to be processed (weighed & measured) and then released tonight...
I went down to the lake today and I found a grim discovery - after seeing the toads along the footpath - up to 56 adult toads and of course animals laying out in the shallows - it was little distressing to find body parts of female toads in the grassy edges of the pond
and a little way into the lake I found a dead female frog carefully cleaned out of her spawn
So what has eaten these animals?
Any Ideas please post some here
