| Re: Frogs and frogspawn
In reply to the enquiry about frogspawn. Its co-incidence as I came on line to report that I have the first frogspawn in my pond today, 16th Feb 2010.
I have been getting concerned as last year my first spawning was the last day of January and I had seen lots of frogs active in the pond well before that date. I can only assume that the colder weather is to blame ( we had snow, thats only happened where I live once before in the 11 years I have lived in this part of Cornwall. )
What is a concern is that there is usually a lot of froggy activity in the pond prior to spawning, and despite the water being crystal clear, I have seen no frogs or toads at all so far, so the numbers must be well down, Im just hoping that milder weather and rain may encourage more to move back and get down to business. |
