Yesterday both Stewart & myself recorded Frogs in our gardens for the first time this year. Stewart's was in his pond, while mine was located by our dog, as I saw her doing her normal manic 'pattin' maneuver (which she performs on finding a live creature). Today just after daybreak, a pair of Mallards splashed down on the pond as they regularly do at this time of year once the Frogs have spawned, but they have jumped the gun this year & got their timing wrong. Once the spawn appears I have to cover a percentage of it with mesh, otherwise the Mallards eat it all, & we remain Frog less. Wild Plum just begining to flower.
Don.
