Many thanks Mike. Yes its free entertainment that was another all day event.
I snuck around the corner and had a peep at what the fuss was all about. I can see why he is so excited or whatever he is.
And does he make a mess - a line of white dots along the windowsill

This shot made me laugh out loud, Richard! It is so humorously cute.

With all the magnification, this shot really came out nice! The image is sharp and the background is great!

Excellent portrait shot. It stands out nicely from the background.

This is a great series Mike. Your images remind me of a cartoon poster I saw, ‘never give up, heron, frog’. Google that and your will see the funny side.

Ha, ha, ha...they stole my photos, and made cartoon characters of them.

It's going to be frog legs for dinner tonight!!
