Frog Invasion 2012

At least fifty in the pond as from Wednesday, I managed to get thirty of them out to clean out the winter debris

You're lucky to have such a thriving population .............. here the majority we see are flattened in their hordes in the lanes at certain times of the year. Hundreds of them.

Very few live ones in evidence, except of course when one sets about the annual drain rodding and flushing.

Our pond certainly isn't the healthiest (or so I thought), but so many other properties nearby have nothing left of a 'natural' garden, it's easy to understand why the amphibians return to ours.

And a second batch of spawn laid earlier this week, plus something from the deep (and yellow) which remained firmly at the far side of the pond.

I waited for nearly an hour for it to surface without luck. Maybe tomorrow.
