Catching the sun

Elsewhere in the garden (away from the excitement of the new greenhouse) the tadpoles are growing well. Unsurprisingly they love the sun and there was a whole convention of them on Saturday soaking up the rays close to the surface.

Despite my initial fears, the newts don't seem to be making much of a dent in the numbers. They will shortly be entering their carnivorous stage and I'll be feeding them on bloodworms to keep them from eating the newt eggs!
