All over Britain frogs started spawning on 25th February, which is about
a month earlier than they did. A week later we had a moderate frost and
my tiny pond froze half an inch thick:

That must have a bit strange. Both for you and the Frogs!
Out back We have a Stock Tank (man made pond) that is seasonal. When the
Monsoon starts the way we can tell we've had 1/2" or more of Rain is the
Frogs come out of the Mud and Crook all night for 3 or 4 Nights, eat make
eggs and disappear for another year.

After Christmas vacation, an elementary school teacher was asking her students how they celebrated Christmas.
When she got to Sammy, whose father ran a local toy store, she said, "Sammy, since you're Jewish, I guess your family didn't celebrate Christmas."
Sammy replied, "Oh yes, we did. We all held hands and danced around the cash register singing, 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus.'

Well in our little cute pond, there is no spawn yet, and the weather is seriously out of pattern, 14c one day, -4c overnight the next? In the first photo, is the spawn actually frozen?!

I think most of them will. The spawn that froze looks wrinkled and very
strange (no pics because it's blowing a gale and poor light) but that's
just the part that's on the surface.

How's your green Rod's Outhouse frog? When will you know whether its
croaking attracted a partner?
