I seem to have lost all my frogs. I had a colony over 30 strong a couple
of years ago. I know the untimely cold last winter ( 2007/8) limited the
breeding that year but I had some back last year. Unfortunately all the
little taddies got eaten by dragon fly lava in the pond. I cleared the
pond but no frogs this year.

They usually arrive about Valentines day. My mother has frogs and spawn.
Hers usually arrive just after mine. I guess I am frog less then? I don't
suppose there is a solution to this really is there? Anything I can do?

My ponds are usually a heavy mass of froggy frenzy about this time.
Nothing so far but I suspect the cold snap will have merely deterred the
show. FWIW I was coppicing with Dorset CC Ranger Service this morning -

Not here by any chance?

I only live a mile or do from there, and the sign always makes me smile.

Sorry .... that's down B'mouth way isn't it? My coppicing, hedge laying
exercise etc. is usually taken in the Batcombe area .... other end of
the county. I haven't visited Slop Bog Reserve but I seem to recall it
has some good heathland. And it _does_ have a funny name :-))
