Darkly silently it glides in feet first, before retracting it’s wings to maintain a balance.
The deadly work then begins.
Poking, snapping, devouring, young frogs from their underwater dwelling.
I know it is nature and we should not interfere.
However, our frogs are becoming rarer and now need saving.
I’ve deepened the pond, and rigged up preventative fishing line, to stop their ease of access.
It will not totally prevent the crow's raids.
Just decrease their killing spree.
So frogs will still come to my pond at mating time.
