The cold weather held off the frogs and toads but now it’s warming up they’re on the march and getting busy in the pond making loads of spawn: a lot more than last year too. Listen to the video to hear the toads sing!

And the frogs and toads are gathering. The toads have appeared first, in great numbers, as they head towards the pond. Some can’t wait until they get there.

Now the frogs and toads have had their fun it’s time for the newts. There are a lot of them this year, both smooth and great crested but now the water has become so clear they are easy to spot and the visiting hungry heron quite likes them for breakfast. Today only the smoothest of newts wanted to be photographed.
