Wriggly Tiddly!

Hello Woofers

Daisy and a hundred baby frogs!

I got OTL to wake up a little earlier with the hope that we would meet Devo and Zoro but when we got to the car park there was no sign of them, in fact there was just one spaniel looking woofer who was charging up and down the football field chasing a ball.

We let him carry on and headed off to the sea wall.

 Again, not much of a sunrise.

 It's amazing that the sunrise can change so much in such a short time. This shot is taken from the top of the field and you can see the sun through the cloud.

However....................

From the sea wall we saw this view.

There, taken from on top of the sea wall.

Again, not the best sunrise we have seen but you can see how much it has changed over a period of five minutes.

We came across a couple of Spannerdoodle dogs who where getting all excited over some sniffs on the top of the sea wall.

Back home The Missus got all excited and demanded OTL get the camera and follow her into the garden.

Now OTL has been saying that the small wriggly things in the pond looked like insects but TM was convinced they were small tiddlypoles.

OTL fitted a filter to his lens and that cut out the light reflecting off the water.

Guess wot?

 Can you see the Taddlypoles?

This lot were swimming around, nibbling at the egg sacks and the green weed that has grown in the pond.

So, it looks like TM was right and OTL wrong! We will be getting a good stock of frogs this year!

I have seen a hedgehog in the garden so there is only a grass snake to see to complete the list!

The next target is in the insect family, Dragon Fly, Damselfly, Pond Skater and other pond life!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy and the Taddlypoles.

Phone Home!

Hello Woofers,

Daisy back again!

Well, after yesterday’s excitement in meeting up with Devo and Zoro I was looking forward to seeing them again but there was no sign of them today.

However, there on the grass edge to the main path we saw a mobile phone laying on the ground and when OTL switched it on saw that it was fully charged!

As normal, we had missed the sunrise so the best we could do was to see the afterglow!

At the end of the month the clocks jump forward so we can look forward to catching a sunrise for a month or two!

After glows can be a bit boring!

One thing I have noticed, the buds on many trees have started to swell and the leaves have started to unfold.

It won't be too long before there will be leaves on all the trees.

Going back to the phone, when OTL tried to open it, we saw it needed a 'finger print'. as all Two Legs have different finger prints that means only a PIN (Personal Identification Number) can override the log in process.

Unless you are OTL!

By pressing the on/Off buttons and Volume control we managed to see the last number dialled.

It was lucky that the owner of the phone not only owned the lost phone but also owned the phone it was calling!

So, a quick call and arrangements made to join together lost phone and TL!

There now, OTL's good deed for the day!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.
