Wildlife.

Bob Lewis reports that two heron have come to a bad end recently at the Prispen Pond, apparently as a result of fox activity. Given that Heron are not particularly meaty birds, the fox would seem to have put in a lot of work for no great return but at least, I suppose, it stops them from becoming overreliant on the contents of your refuse bin.

In other wildlife related news, Rory the dog grabbed what appeared to be a frog in Parsonage Lane this morning and found it not to his taste at all. Having now recovered from much headshaking and a degree of foaming at the mouth I hope that it will deter him from further attacks on amphibians.
