Recommended Posts

I looked out my kitchen window on dawn as I was getting water and .... my bottle tree looks different .... that was not there yesterday .  still in dark silhouette  against the sky .... hmmmmm ... very suspicious  , I know what's going on here . 

 

Two 'froggies' *  cuddled up together against the cold ... pretending they are not there .

'No , you are not a branch ... I can see your eye ! '  :D   one can get very close ... and they freeze ......  'No one here but some old gnarly wood .'

They usually hang around for a few days , but this time of year, they may have a nest nearby .

 

I have seen  them a few times here around the cabin ; once a mum with three little ones  lined up along the branch . 

 

They have a nice night call too
