Baby fish

No. Nothing. Nada.

VERY dissapppointing.

I KNOW one year I saw a few tiddlers roaming around so I know it can happen but nothing.

I wasa rather hoping for somehting this ear as the rolled up chicekn wire is well established down there now and the big koi could not poissibly get down there. In fact there is a WHOLE NEW WORLD down there just waiting for fry.

ah well. summer is young.

water barrel establishes eco system





The tadpoles in the water barrel have now hatched into gorgeous little froglettes. It is really good to creep up on them and watch them basking in the sun on the rock or hiding in the green grass.

Have decided that the frogs just might stay in the water barrel and not jump away like last year's final remaining frog so have taken the plunge and moved the bowl from down the bottom and dropped them into the water barrel.

Found out hat Vince has been using the other receptacle for water so no wonder very few left in there. Too shallow for them as well.

Rather excited at having my own frog community. Have added various stones and stuff so they can hide under there. Mum seems to keep the the whole year round so that is my aim.

take a look at the photos and if you squint you can see various little tiddlers hanging round by the rocks.
