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?

hi, have you got a net over the pond, because herons can clear out your frog and fish population very quickly.also other wildlife may get access to your pond if you dont have a net..this time of year you should have frogs spawn in your pond too.toads and frogs will be hideing under rocks etc this time of year also, so if you have any little hideaways in your gardenmm go have a look,,, good luck,, spinksy
