Must check lower pond as I've not been down there lately.

I'll get around to it eventually

If only tadpoles would eat duckweed

It was the same here last year but still ended up with loads of tadpoles All iced up at the minute so we shall see.

Probably not grindle but I also think the 3 I've seen might be all males, the last few years I think we've had a large light green coloured female & I've not seen her yet, hope she made it through winter although with the number of froglets we've had there should be a few more females around by now.

There were 12 frogs in the pond that I could see & it was like a churning frog orgy in there!

I think it varies ladybird, some people have frogs in their ponds in January but it's usually late Feb. - early March here & as grindle said ours have settled down again after the mating frenzy the other week & I've only seen a couple in the pond over the last few days.
