Throwback Thursday travels back to Cheshire in the late 1980s and some Thyme growing at the edge of a garden pond in Hatherton near Nantwich.
It was a popular spot for some of the resident Common Frogs to sit, waiting for insects to visit the Thyme flowers.

Another great spot! I wonder if the plants appreciate their guardians or prefer pollinators and if the frogs would eat bees…
And I wish I had something like those protecting my rambling rose from greenflies – tiny tree frogs perhaps – but no such luck in Lancashire!
I watched one catch a bee, get stung and spit it out.
Both of them had a bad day then.
I seem to remember the frog rubbing at its tongue with a front foot so presumably it got stung on the tongue.
