The males have been croaking for dear life, but no females yet, as far
as I can conclude with no frog spawn.

I don't particularly follow timings of frogs but do of blossom and
butterflies. Things are probably two, maybe even three, weeks or more
later than has we have been used to in recent years

I've had my pond full of frogs and spawn since 19/2/09. They've finished
now and gone (I think).

There has been frogspawn in my pond (more than usual) for a couple of weeks
now. With the daffodils and celandines now out; the crocuses, primroses,
pussy willows, catkins and snowdrops have been out for a couple of weeks
now, it seems that this spring is not much later than last year, and still
earlier than I remember from my childhood.

Everything has caught up quickly during the warmer weather that has lasted
since mid-Feb.

Snowdrops been out for 4 weeks crocuses flowered by last Friday, with
daffodils quite a bit of green leaves and a buds, probably flower

The frogs were out about the same time as normal here (Lancs coast).

Frogs first seen in pond on 21st February, several large clumps of frogspawn
noted on 1st March.

Maybe this had something to do with all the cold and snow completely
by-passing our part of the NW.

After a good 6 weeks of thrashing, splashing and croaking the frogs have
finally produced their first dollops of spawn in our pond today (8th April).
The thrashing, splashing and croaking continues. Most of the daffodils are in
full bloom now.

Daffodils over, bluebells out full now, there have been some out since
mid March www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/recent.html . It's great this
time of year when all the convectional cloud stays nicely over the
land www.sennen-cove.com/today2.htm .

No frogs, but there are water voles breeding in the compost heap.
