WE'VE SEEN this Toad crossing the lawn on its way to the pond several times during the last few weeks. It has a wound the size of a postage stamp between its shoulders. I'm afraid I probably caught it when I was cutting the lawn close to the flower bed about month ago. Today, I'm afraid, it was dead on the lawn. I'll be even more careful when I'm cutting around the edges in future.
Swifts wheel about above the street; summer migrants against a sky which wouldn't be out of place in mid-October.
Tall plants of Common Ragwort provide a welcome burst of colour amongst the increasingly dull green foliage of summer.
