Moth ID Please
Thu, 13 Apr 2006 18:16:31 GMT
I took a picture of a particularly spectacular moth on the decking, a few
days ago. I believe it could be a male Emperor moth. There is a picture of
it on the bird diary page at:-

Any confirmation, please?
Cheers.

A real sign of Spring
Fri, 31 Mar 2006 22:24:12 +0100
During the warm sunshine this morning (Friday) a large brimstone butterfly

Frogs
Sat, 25 Mar 2006 23:12:47 -0000
Among our frogs there is one which is slightly bigger than the others, and
is green. I wondered if it might be an edible frog. We are in
Hertfordshire.
I wonder if anyone could give me a website where I could see a picture of
the edible frog. I've tried Googling without success.
Many thanks
