The first frog of the year sighted. I noticed some movement in the pond
a couple of days ago but today a definite sighting. This is 3 days
earlier than 2008 which is a bit surprising given the recent very cold
spell, four weeks earlier than 2007 and six weeks earlier than 2006.

I'm really glad you've seen yours - no sign of our toads yet but it would be
very early for them. I read that in some colder parts of the country an
entire generation of froglets has been wiped out.

My neighbour found a frog frozen in the ice on her pond!
