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?

Same here in Derby. First signs of activity on Sunday and counted 13
frogs hard at 'it' yesterday (Tuesday). The goldfish seem a bit wary;
but so far, over the years, none have ever been injured. I remember
this time last year the pond was frozen over apart from where the
heater was. Don't know what effect this has on the spawn. It's amazing
where it all goes eventually
