How will frogs and toads use this frog house?

This lovely frog house will be used as a retreat by frogs, toads and other amphibians throughout the year. It provides a cool, safe space that gives protection from predators such as buzzards and domestic dogs and cats. Oh and garden tools too!

The common frog becomes active from late January, and the toad from early March through until October. During these warmer months (a UK warm of course), the open-fronted shelter helps to keep amphibians cool as it allows contact with the damp soil – they don’t cope particularly well in the baking heat!


Where should I put this frog house?

To ensure your frog house is as beneficial as possible to your local amphibian population, you want to place it near a pond or a damp area in a quiet, cool, shaded position. Once placed, you can leave it for the frogs and toads to discover!

In the winter months, to provide some extra insulation, cover the frog house in extra vegetation such as leaves and moss. We'd highly recommend doing this as the terracotta frog house isn't frost-proof for the winter months. They might hold up in some of the more mild UK winter months, but the extra insulation would still help. 

 

Why is it important to look after our frog and toad population?

Like much of our wildlife, frog and toad populations have fallen in recent years mainly due to habitat loss. Throughout their lifecycles, frogs and toads play an important role in ecosystems and food chains. As tadpoles they eat algae, helping to regulate blooms and reducing the chances of algal contamination. As frogs, they help keep pesky bugs at bay. In fact, they act as great natural pest control in your gardens by eating up slugs! They also act as an important food source for different species of birds and fish. The disappearance of frogs can have knock-on effects throughout their wider food web.

Little things like adding a pond (if you are able) in your garden, having a compost heap in something like our recycled plastic composter and the avoidance of using pesticides and slug pellets (instead use natural measures like our felt shillies and natural slug deterrent) can all help your local frog population.

For advice on other ways to help have a look at the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust website.

 

How else can I look after my local wildlife?

With all local and garden wildlife, providing food and habitat is the best way to protect them. That can be ‘artificially’ with things like feeders and shelters, or by planting more vegetation. We do a bit of both in our Buy Land Plant Trees project which you can read about here

Wow! Great Stuff!
Format: Hardcover
Before I read this book, I had just read the other recent Batman trade, "Life After Death" by Tony S. Daniel, and I was seriously disappointed. I really struggled to get through it. So the next night, I started to read this one, Batman vs Robin, and I couldn't put it down - I almost read the whole book in one sitting (if it wasn't late at night, I probably would have finished it). It just confirms, once again, what a great writer Grant Morrison is. In this trade, you get two main story arcs (with a nice "cameo" by Batwoman in one story) and the search for Batman really starts to develop, here. I enjoyed Volume 1, but IMO, this one is far superior.

It gets AWESOME. I highly recommend this
First volume is kind of a drag, but it gives backstory and character development for this volume 2. It gets AWESOME. I highly recommend this, it has mystery, action, and great art. Fun read and you MUST read the first volume.

Batman & Robin: Batman vs Robin
Format: Hardcover
First things first... This book will only make sense to you ONLY if you've been following Grant Morrison's complete run of Batman (including Final Crisis). If you haven't, most likely you won't like it or you'll get half the excitement this baby carries. I used to think I didn't like Frank Quiely's art, but after the psychedelic style he put on the first volume, I found myself missing him in this particular book. The art in the first 3 chapters (The Blackest Knight) is terrible. So simple and flat. The writing is good, but the art took whatever excitement for me. On the other hand, the art on the next chapters is quite better, and together with the story I end up wanting more. I have to give it to Grant Morrison. If they give him time and creativity control, he can make things happen (although it would be better if Dan Didio wouldn't make him re-write the end of Final Crisis). There's only 2 things I don't like about all this (besides the art on the first 3 issues): FIRST - I don't understand WHY Dick Grayson have to use electric knuckles every time he fights. SECOND: Seems to be now everybody knows Batman's secret identity. I liked the book as a whole, and I can't wait to check it all out now that lots of the beans has been spilled.

The reason I started reading Comics again
Format: Hardcover
This is the best comic book series I have read in a very long time. It will go down as a classic in the Batman Mythos. It should be on the top ten list when it comes to Batman tales. I was intrigued by the idea of Dick Grayson assuming the mantle and how he would interact with the new Robin Damien. What is really cool is the reversal of making Batman the light while Robin is the darkness in the partnership. I highly recommend it. This is an awesome set of stories. Read volume One first before you read this volume to see how it all comes together. When its all said it done it will amaze you.

Grant Morrison continues his mastery
Batman and Robin Volume 2 continues the story of Dick as Batman, Damian as Robin, replacing Bruce Wayne in Gotham after the events of Final Crisis (no spoilers here, despite the age). The artwork is clever, everchanging in style, and intricate; I find new details almost every time I re-read, it has such depth. I wrote an absolutely glowing recommendation for Volume 1, and this deserves similar praise, as does Volume 3 and The Return of Bruce Wayne. Highly recommend the entire arc
