I seem to have lost all my frogs ( as in none have come to the pool this
year). Three years ago I had a colony of at least 30. Then I lost a
whole load of spawn eaten by bloody dragon fly larvae which I had not
realized were there. I know some people like dragon flies but I prefer
frogs. So I cleared the pond but the following year it was a hard
winter and again I lost frogs and spawn . This year, nothing.

I know I have a frog ( or two) around the garden . Last saw one a few
weeks ago by my greenhouse. But nothing in the pond. I also checked the
pond and I don't even seem to have any newts. I had a few of those to.

Is this the end then? Is there anything I can do to get frogs to come?



They'll be back when they want to. So will the dragonflies, damselflies,
leeches (yes), and any other pondlife you care to think of.
