Yippee Frog Spawn
Just wanted to share the good news :-)
Discovered a couple of clumps (if that's what you call it) of frog spawn in my small pond. I was beginning to think my cats had managed to kill all the adult frogs using my pond. Natalie |

Yippee Frog Spawn
Here at SW Sheffield on the edge of the city at 225m high we saw our first
spawning on Tuesday 11 March together with a mass choir of 21 frogs croaking away not counting those otherwise occupied on the bottom (especially the one that had clamped itself to a dead fish). Today we still had about 6 stalwarts singing erratically while spread around the pond edge all facing outwards. Whether they were hoping to welcome females or trying to discourage enemies is anyone's guess. We began with a couple of visiting frogs in 1998 when we put in a temporary pond having just moved here and have built up to 30 to 40 visiting this year. I had seen frogs around for the previous 2 weeks at least despite the ice still covering much of the pond. The poor fish hide under the waterfall to avoid mass rape. Never mind, their time will come. I move all the spawn to the top of three linked ponds but a large percentage of the tadpoles still gradually go over the waterfalls into the bottom pond. The fish soon realise that tasty morsels appear around the water fall and hang around it again, this time with a fishy smile on their faces. Whereabouts are you in Yorkshire??
