Sparrowhawk Bushcraft

A good sign that spring is on the way is when you hear the chorus of frogs in your pond.

Counted 8 frogs sat in the plants and weed with a couple croaking away this afternoon.

A large amount of frogspawn has also appeared. Although you can find forgspawn from as early as January, typically in my pond, it’s March time.

Do you know the difference between frog and toad spawn?   Frog is normally clumped together, whilst toad is strung in a line.

Whilst tempting to move spawn from a pond to somewhere else, it is not advisable as you could introduce contaminants from one pond to anthoer (diseases, invasive species etc.)

This time of year is great to just sit and watch the pond life and nature take its course.
