I have just received the Woodland Trust e-newsletter and I quote this---
"Amphibians… Frogs and toads enter brumation as the temperature drops. They seek out spots at the bottom of ponds, under stones or logs or bury themselves in leaf litter."
Brumation is a new word for me. A lesser state of hibernation apparently.
Sounds like the process of becoming a resident of Birmingham - a "Brummy".

But no, I've never come across that word before.
ReplyDeleteInteresting concept . . .
