Smile Re: Frogs and frogspawn

I'm soooo pleased for all you parents of frogspawn, but I still can't see any. Pond very still today, no spawn to be seen, though I have seen a few solitary frogs, and heard a few halfhearted croaks. But as I have a Mallard Duck sitting on 12 eggs, I don't go too near the pond for fear of frightening her, and so disturbing her, so if I get spawn as well it's a bonus, but she is my main concern, after she has gone through the process of producing all those eggs, it would be a terrible shame if she deserted because I had gone too close.....I find it very frustrating, not being able to look too close, but it'll be worth it if she hatches her eggs. Then the hard work will start, keeping the Crows and Magpies from eating the ducklings....
