Mastodawn

Am having an argument with a female blackbird... it plunders my strawberries sneaking
i under
the net! Which being old has some gaps.

Feels like it waits for me to show up , gets in through a hole and pecks away, as I approach it goes in and exits by another hole... grrr...

Maybe does it for fun as I left a few plants outside and she just won't have them...

Had one hour trimming session under rain and wind, going carefully around marsh lillies and marsh orchids, and not very close to the ground to avoid chopping frogs and toads.

Yesterday heard, clearly, a toad. In aa few days I'll trim it some more.

My partner and I have started to settle in to our new living situation, which means that I can start posting more regularly and putting more time into #math research again. Nature is being good to us. Check out this toad I found.

"Come out, quick! Your car is being toad."

"My car is frog, and consequently cannot be toad."

For #WildlifeWednesday, a #toad fwend we accidentally dug up in the #garden while installing the irrigation system. I'd dug up another one under the strawberries a few days earlier (or maybe it was the same one). We relocated it to a different flower bed, safe from our gardening shenanigans, and it quickly burrowed under the fern. Kiddo named it Elli. 😂 Hopefully, Elli likes the new spot and feasts on the snails that keep eating my hostas and zinnias.

I initially thought it was a common toad (the only one I knew), but those striking cat-like eyes belong to the common #spadefoot, also known as the #garlicToad as it exudes a garlic smell to fend off v̶a̶m̶p̶i̶r̶e̶s̶ predators (Elli didn't). 🐸

A Photographer In Canada Found A Toad With Eyes In Its Mouth, And Scientists Were Baffled

At first, people thought the toad might be a hoax, but it turned out to be very real and more common than you might think.

I don't know why, but now many frogs, both adults and children, like to come into my house, jumping here and there. As long as they don't touch me, it's fine.

Australian Cane Toad - Art Print.
In June 1935, 102 cane toads (Rhinella marina, formerly ICZN Bufo marinus) were imported to Gordonvale from Hawaii.
The rest, as they say, is an ecological disaster!

I want to thank my friend for having been born on this day a few years ago, because she is the reason I went outside today and got to see so many cute #toads.

Thank you so much and happy birthday (again)!
It's impressive how you even manage to time your birthday perfectly :)
