If frogs are a sign of Spring then Spring has finally sprung. The frogs are late this year in starting their annual orgy in my pond, probably due to the very cold weather so far. But this morning with temperatures up to a scorching 7 degrees they have at last showed up. So far they are quite shy and dive for cover as soon as I approach. I think as time goes on they become quite weary and pretend to ignore me.
Anyway, if frogs are a measure of Spring, I shall count them on a regular basis. The rules are that the frog should be clearly visible, preferably with head above water.
So the record so far is:
Sat 13 March, 11:30 am, 7C . . . 14 FROGS
