The frogs in our garden pond started their springtime croaking yesterday.
I don't keep a record of these things but that seems very early. I think
it's usually March before they get up to such activities but I could be
wrong.


Our spawn appeared about a week ago, last year it was 9th March, and the
Lesser Celandine, my 'Spring' benchmark, is looking very vigourous.

A maximum of 13.2°C today, the highest since 6th November.


Sprawn in pond this morning, tens of frogs


Ditto here, lots of spawn and loads of writhing frogs in our pond yesterday
here in Lancashire.
