As water temperatures start to drop, frogs and newts may be thinking of heading out of their ponds for the winter. You can help them by creating a cosy frog & toad abode for them to hide out in once the cold weather really hits!šø
āļø Dig a 30-45cm deep round hole with a flat bottom in a shady spot
fill it with assorted logs & stones - imagine you're making an underground maze!
š§± Keep piling your materials up to a bit above ground level
šæ Cover your mound with soil, but make sure there's still some spaces around the edges where your local amphibians can get in!
š» If you fancy adding a finishing flourish, why not sprinkle some wildflower seeds over and around their new mansion?
