| | | We've got our first frog!
How exciting! I've just noticed the first frog in our pond which we built in February. I was in the garden just looking around and heard a 'plop'. Went over to the pond and saw nothing but after some searching this fella was hiding behind one of the marginals. He was a bit camera shy so this is the best pic I've got so far.

Congratulations on your new arrival, Claire!  It's always exciting when the first critters start showing up. Quote:

And here's a photo of a froglet sunning itself at the edge of our pond last weekend: 
Happy pond watching... |

Hi Great to hear you have you first frog. I though that I only had one until I was giving the pond a bit of a clean and I moved a stone and found that I had three.
They are great for the garden.

Cheers for the replies everyone. Those pictures are lovely! Haven't seen the little frog today but as it's been raining a lot he's probably somewhere around the pond.

 claire, am thrilled for you, bet your heart leapt when it saw the frog, I know mine still does on a daily basis. You worked really hard on your pond and you deserve little visitors
I put some washing out before work yesterday morning and noticed them inbetween the grass so, as with kayleigh, I am not mowing the lawn for a few weeks.

Well the frog hasn't been seen since we first noticed it, which is a bit disappointing  But the fact that we saw one at all is good because it seems we've made a good job in the design & built of it! To be honest it could be anywhere in the thick planting around the pond or in the grass which hasn't been cut for a while so I'm sure we'll see him again
