dytkos 17,536 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I posted some pics about a fortnight back, i'll go back next week to have a look. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,784 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 The first spawn I see in my local wood is almost always either on, or very nearly February 14th...must have romantic frogs here...but there's still none yet. I think there's just not been enough rain to make the large puddle they usually use deep enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,784 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Ours finally emerged last night but I think the males may have been waiting around for a few days before as I saw a buzzard on a low branch waiting for an unwary one to make a move during daylight late last week. Also saw my first adder of the year on Friday, I don't think I've ever seen one in February before. Edited February 27, 2017 by Neal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
