Basking frog.
 
Is that like a basking shark?

I will find out tomorrow when I go on an alien frog hunt! :D

Sems some idiot former frog enthusiast has dumped their collection in a local beauty spot & left them to fend for themselves - Which could have devastating consequences for the native creatures.

Never mind that the interlopers croak at about ten times the volume of the natives - I thought it was ducks or geese when I first heard them. :eek:
 
Wonderful :cool:

Thanks had fun on no sleep had to spend time from this

- Park Hill Flats is the largest listed building in Europe. It consists of four blocks 13, 10, 9 and 7 storeys, linked at various levels. The entire complex contains 995 residential units, as well as shops and civic amenities.

- The complex was often referred to as 'streets in the sky', mainly because there were decks stretching across each block. From ground level up, the 'streets' were called The Pavement, Gilbert Row, Hague Row, Long Henry Row and Norwich Row.

- Park Hill Flats formed Part One of the Park Hill scheme. Part Two, also known as the Hyde Park Flats, was built on an adjacent site.

- The thinking behind Park Hill was heavily influenced by Le Corbusier's Unité d`Habitation in Marseille. Unlike its French counterpart, Park Hill has remained a social housing complex.
