Frog Watch

At last the frogs have arrived at our allotment ponds (Suffolk).  Overnight Sunday / Monday morning we have twelve lots of spawn in the larger pond, four lots in the smaller pond.

Saturday morning they were all thrashing about and shedloads of spawn!
There's never enough females, so every time one moves now, 20 others decend on the movement - they must be knackered!

I have a small wildlife pond that is only 1m x .8m and around .3m deep.  Full of plants.
On Sunday - 4 frogs
Tuesday afternoon - 16 frogs, some spawn and a lot of noise.  As telboy says, females in short supply, if it moves..
