The message
from Kay Easton contains these words:

After all that activity at the beginning of February, ardour was
dampened by all that cold weather, and we didn't get our first frogspawn
till yesterday

I saw my first lot of the year yesterday too..the frogs were still
laying it.

First batch of spawn on 22 February, more yesterday, increasingly
frantic and vocal activity today but no more spawn.
