Frogspawn 2017

My OH thought he heard frogs croaking the night before last. I had a chance to check our pond this morning and lo and behold, we have frogspawn.
It's a couple of days earlier than last year, I thought it would be later this year as we have had some hard frosts this winter. We had meant to take out a large clump of yellow flag which is taking over the pond but will have to wait now.

Frog spawn spotted to day in Devon too. It wasn't there 2 days ago.
You can still do that, it won't harm, or are you just using that as an excuse?! Seriously, though, a bit of disturbance won't affect the frogs in their fun. They're too engrossed in their spring dance to be bothered about the iris moving.

Obviously frogs think it's spring in Devon too
H-C Thanks for your reply too, it's good to know that the frogs won't be disturbed if we removed the iris, though we're probably using it as an excuse not to as it's a bit chilly for pond plodging
I was just having a tidy around the wildlife pond this morning when I realised I was disturbing a pair of frogs having a cuddle
No spawn yet but at this rate it won't be long. The pond's only been established a few years and last year we had our first frogspawn - sadly it appeared to be infertile ... but it looks as if this year there's at least one male ready and willing to do the job
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Mine are out already, bit early than usual.

I love to see life waking up in the ponds ... the promise of good things to come

I've had the calling and the cuddling but no frogspawn as yet ... always a welcome sign that spring is on it's way
Same here Ado Annie We have had the calling and cuddling at the weekend.
Love this time of year
i had a problem last year with spawn dissolving seems to be happening again yet there is so much spawn I have had to put some in tubs
