Really nice picture Steve, is that your finger and if so, how did you get it's confidence, and how did you take the photo?
When was the last time, Total France or its successor? :)

Steve - I've always had a soft spot for "Found in the Garden" which I remember from TF which is why I thought it would be nice to re-create it here !

Nice shot - I love frogs, sadly not many round here, too dry and farmers are continuing to fill in the ditches.

It was I Think Total France with Chris Luck and later Char over a few years we knocked up with others contributions over 2,000 posts
As for the picture its my loving wife's finger and the Red Billed Leiothrix had knocked itself out on the kitchen window
