It seems that for weeks, I’ve been checking the usual ponds for frogspawn when I was passing, without result.
Then over the Easter weekend, it seemed like there were sounds of frog mating calls all over the place. Loud croaking by ponds, and by the canal out Castlecroft way, but no actual sightings.
On Easter Monday, lots of spawn on Willow Pond. I think frogs’, not from newts which are also recorded as breeding there.
