Last night I spotted the first lot of frogspawn in my pond. I don't
recall any as early as this before.

Our frogspawn arrived a month early this year.

Yes, we have some here, too and it's early for us. And it's in a
new-to-frog-spawn pond, which is excellent news.

Ours arrived just over a week ago, in a small
pond (1'*3'*18") near Bristol. If you walk
quietly but fast past the pond, the surface
"explodes" when the frogs spot you.

Doesn't half wake you up when you are half-awake
making the bleary-eyed walk to let the chickens out.

We have a large dish out on the gravel part of the gardens for the birds to
bath and 'play' in. Question. If Frog Spawn appears, would the birds eat it
or ignore it or stay away?

(One Blackbird and Three Sparrows having a bath at the same time is the
record ''total occupancy'') Smile

Whilst our first frogs were spotted on 19 January (21 days earlier than
last year) the first spawn arrived 10 days later than last year, on 23
February.

Last few days at least 3 pairs of frogs mating. Today, frog spawn & more
pairs of frogs.. I think I counted over 5 pairs last year. A right
orgy!

We discovered frog spawn in our pond last week - four days earlier
than last year.

speaking of globular formations in pond water, in a small pond fed by a
very silty stream I noticed a cluster of silt-covered lumps, each about
the size of a grape, the whole cluster about the size of a cantaloupe,
anchored at one end to the mud, waving freely and gently at the other. I
didn't like to commit any invasive investigation, does anyone know what
this is? Someone's home? Someone's family?
