    @AuntyRach @Lyn @Crazyfroglady
    That’s some serious frost proofing! Love it 😊 
    My pond has all those things, I think; beach, hiding spots, Plants, grasses and rocks. I think I’m doing it right! Hope they arrive Lyn...
    Lots of hiding pots actually Rach...
    So where are they?!
    We have average height fencing around our garden, there is a small wood not a million miles away, with water and frogs in it, but I do wonder if they would dig under a fence in order to get in, or jump over?!
    Probably a very daft question 😁

    I’m not sure they’d do either @dappledshade. They do somehow get into gardens though as they’re in my daughter’s .

    @Crazyfroglady. Let’s hope,  it’s going to be below freezing here tonight, I’m glad they’ve hatched out and hopefully will dive down to the bottom of the pond and escape the cold.   

    A couple of years ago when it hadn't hatched, we shovelled it into bowls and buckets and brought it into the GH until it was warmer.

    Had our first spawn yesterday, which I  take as a signal to get back in the garden too after a winter hiberantion. All the dots were white though, so presumably unfertilised. Just been out now and 4 more clumps there now and all looking healthy, along with 8 frogs getting very excited by the situation!

    Good to see you @Jellyfire  😊 were your ears burning?  I said to @WonkyWomble just yesterday that I wondered when we’d ‘see’ you ... thought it wouldn’t be long 😊

    Ages yet until we see it here.

    Hope all the froggies haven't been 'a layin' too early, and you all get lots of viable tads  :)

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    My first tadpoles spotted today. Bit early perhaps but hope they make it.

    No sign of any frogspawn yet up here ... but the hedgehogs are eating us out of house and home
