Wildlife watch



Well today on wildlife watch I saw a roadrunner on the drive home from work. It lived up to it's name as it ran across the road in front of me. Don't worry, I'll get him next time!!! Sorry, no photos on this one.

This evening I was sitting in the garden and I heard these very strange noises. On closer inspection I saw that it was a frog. I rushed into the house to get the camera and managed to get a few photos. You can imagine my shock when I looked back at the pictures and saw a huge beetle in front of it. Anyone who knows me will know that they are my biggest hate (apart from Michael Schumacher!). Luckily on the 2nd photo the beetle had disappeared, so I am guessing that my friend Kermit ate it. If you double click on the picture you will see what I mean. I did try and look on Google to see what type of beetle it was, but after looking at a couple of pictures I wanted to be sick, so didn't investigate any further.

P.S It may also have been a toad, but I am not sure. Either way, he is more than welcome in my garden if he keeps eating the beetles. All I need to do now is to teach it to climb walls in order to get the ones that congregate around my outside light.

Hi Debbie
I love the hummingbirds and the frog - great wild-life watching! The beetle isn't quite so cuddly, and I think it might be a cockroach, which is even worse!
Lots of love
