Re: Any Frogs Spawn in South East England

Well, my torch batteries are running out, I had 8 frogs all nicely paired up for the last three days but still no spawn. Tonight I noticed that one of the females is missing some fingers off of her front legs and that there is a single frog and 3 pairs. I do hope that doesn't mean there has been a casualty.

It has been sunny and quite cold today, and I wondered if the temperature is deterring the females from laying, if not the males - they are clinging on and do not seem to be giving up anytime soon. There is one really small male with an enormous female that looks very fat in the stomach region .. you've got to admire him!!
Does anyone have any ideas how long they will stick together before they get down to business?
