Frogs galore!

At the moment most ponds in the country are filled with the Common Frog and frogspawn. It is the perfect time of year to get close to these fascinating amphibians whilst they gently croak and frolick in the water of your garden pond.

The resulting frogspawn is also a source of easy food for birds such as Blackbird and Magpie, two birds I have witnessed tucking into the jelly-like substance, a good source of protein for the trials that lie ahead for the birds in their breeding season.
