Our garden at night has a constant frog chorus as probably 100 frogs gather to mate in our small wildlife pond. It's a truly amazing sight and sound!Enjoy the video!

Mating foxes


Pembrokeshire is unmistakenly a good place for wildlife, even in frosty january 2012.
These two local foxes obviously feel very much at home.
Mating foxes is not a sight that we see every day.
Looking forward to fox cubs in the spring.

Yours kindly

Henk and Wendy Smit
