On the Roof and in the Pond!

This is an edited version of a photo taken today of the rooftop of Saltram House, Plymouth. I have now included as an extra the mating toads in the pond. These are also from this morning. Toads can sometimes form a mass of bodies at this time of year, but here there are only four, I thing. The string of black beads are the toad-spawn. The quality of the extra is rather poor, but it seemed a shame not to use the image with today's blip.
