The Old Frog Pond
The
pond has a clay base so the level of the water fluctuates a little throughout
the seasons.
The acacia at the right
of the photo gives cover from anything above the pond
There is quite a variety
of junca and other water plants
The rushes extend well
into the shallower end of the pond
Although there is plenty
of sun on the pond during the day, there are always some shady spots
Cordyline leaves, tied
in bundles provide hiding spots for frogs and lizards
................ But for
some reason that I am at a loss to understand, I have not seen a single tadpole
or sign of frogspawn in the pond - even though I am always finding frogs
under rocks and in long grass nearby.
