Frog Song

Felix has got back into the habit of waking me up for the dawn chorus.   
About 4 this morning I trailed downstairs, without putting any lights on, put food in both cat bowls (what meal is 4am?) and opened the back door to get the full benefit of the birdsong.  
It was mild and windy.  
As I leant against the doorjam I heard another sound under the birdsong.   
A sort of loud deep purring. 
Frog song from the pond.

By the way this is only the second time in my life I've heard frogsong.  

The other was by a stream near Pike House, outside Rothbury, with Pearl in 1993.

Ms Exlibris  The only time I've ever heard it is in Paul McCartney's Frog Chorus.
