The frogs have been attracting a few visitors over the past few days...
A heron didn't have any luck, due to the fencing around the pond, but it sat and watched the frogs splashing about for a few minutes before flying away.
A sparrowhawk was more determined, and flew down to sit in the cascade three times before also giving up. I wasn't able to get any photos of it fishing, because the daffodils are in the way- but it came and sat on one of the fence posts for a moment or two and allowed me to get this close-up shot. Probably the closest I've been to a sprawk so far!
