Frogs.

Just wondering if anyone else has a shortage of frogs this spring, We can count over a hundred the beginning of March each year. This year so far only 2.

We have frogs in the nearby river, but not heard anything yet.
Lets hope that the cold weather has postponed them rather than killed them

No frogs in my pond - there was one sitting on the pavement a few days ago - I nearly trod on it as it was getting dark.
I was thinking there should be some spawn but there isn't any in my pond.

Thanks for that Nicos. The 3 lochs i fish also have no spawn which is the first time in over half a century. There was a bug ? about a few years back which ate the frogs just leaving a white skin.
