Please look out for frogs and toads on these mild, wet nights. They appear at dusk and sit in the road or in puddles. Try and avoid them or better still, take them to the nearest pond. Life's tough for these wonderful creatures.

Alternatively, for a fun game, bring a cat and watch it play amphibian tiddliwinks. Doesn't harm the frogs and is quite an enjoyable sight.

It does harm the frogs. Their legs and heads get bitten off. Please keep your cats indoors at night as I do - the birds need the early mornings for feeding, especially when they have young. Wonderful as domestic cats are, they are the most important factor in decreasing bird populations. They're not a natural phenomenon and should be managed more carefully.

Oh, really? My cats never ate frogs, just smacked them on the bum for a while, then got bored and wandered off.

I would put Italian hunters at the top of the list for decreasing bird populations, not moggies. As for the headless, limbless frogs, the cats you come across must be French or working on behalf of the purveyor of quality ingredients for the Wizzo Assortment. Mmm, crunchy frog.
Hey saucy, that's the best offer I've had all night.

Well, they're going to be in for some hard times. With decreasing bird populations, lark's vomit is sure to be in short supply...

Crunchy frog - if we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?

Maltese and Greek hunters are even worse. I'd shoot the lot.
