I've just mentioned this in Fussy's post about Spring, but I thought I would give you all the heads up. I noticed frogspawn in our local pond today - don't remember it being so early last year, but maybe it was. Just thought I'd let you know incase you have a pond near you so that you can start checking it with your little ones roundabout now. It's such a short period and it's a shame to miss it. One year we were lucky enough to pop by when loads and loads of frogs were in the water mating/laying eggs (do they mate in the water?) but we have missed that this year - with all the terrible weather we have had recently I hadn't thought of checking the pond just yet. Have you guys noticed any near you yet?
