Last year I wrote about the biblical plague of frogs that befell us in mid March - and this year is no different.
Well... no different apart from the fact that we are forecast freezing conditions again this weekend - and this will come AFTER all our dozens (and dozens) of frogs have spawned this week - which is more than a slight concern.
Anyway - a couple of photos of our boiling pond - try and count the number of frogs in the 2nd photo - I'll help you by putting a pink dot over one eye of each frog I counted below.
At the end of this post, I'll tell you how many I counted... (and even I may've missed one or two!)
It looks like we're hosting the entire neighbourhood's frog population at present - primarily because I NEVER use tap water to fill my pond (too much chlorine) and also because our new neighbours have decided to keep fish in the old frog pond they inherited and they've also covered it with a net.
No... I don't understand some people either.
Stay warm this weekend, grapple fans - and let's all hope our frog spawn makes it through to next weekend...
TBR.
Now.
If you want to know how many frogs are in the shot above.... in our pond yesterday... keep scrolling down!
