How cute!!! All I seem to get around here are Southern Toads: they engage
in - amplexus - (such a fancy name for what they're doin'! G) and leave .
.. . 3 days later, the pond's full of toadpoles. Shortly thereafter, they all
disappear - I mean every last one of 'em! - during the day, while I'm at
work. When I leave, there are a gazillion of them - when I come home, not a
one! You'd think my yard would look like the 7th Plague of Egypt, but you
can't find a single, solitary toadlet. Very strange. . .

First signs of frog amplexus here in central England today. The water is
still quite cold, betwen 1°C and 4°C over the past few days. Two pairs of
frogs getting all loved up though. The new batch, coming soon! :-)

Here are a few photos from last year.

Any other signs of action around the UK?
