This post was originally going to be a bit on the cute side. With it being Easter weekend I thought I would post some pictures of baby rabbits in the garden (a little on the nose I admit but there were a couple of good pictures). I was working on the photos on the computer this morning when I heard an awful squealing noise. I looked out of the window to see one of the local cats (the same cat that took out a grey squirrel a month or so ago) trotting off with said cute bunny in it's jaws.
I didn't really have the heart to carry on working on the photos after that.
With it being a splendidly sunny and warm Bank Holiday Monday we opted to go for a walk and headed to Idle Valley. I thought I would get some snaps from different locations around the reserve.
We also found dozens if not hundreds of toads (I did originally think they were frogs but checking on-line toads have a more "warty " skin and golden eyes and they seemed to fit the bill) filling the numerous ponds around the reserve.
Breeding season it seemed was in full swing.
