Another 'great' photo - but look what we got!!

Finally! After having this pond for over a year we have a little visitor! I am skipping with joy and hope he/she stays and brings pals! (it's a frog if you can't tell from my rubbish photo!)

Great isn't it, I normally lose a few every winter as the thick ones don't go deep enough and get frozen but am guessing that hasn't happened this last winter so I've still go the old ones as well as an army of tadpoles so am hoping they will develop into a slug eating army.

We've no spawn or tadpoles. So this little un looks to be all alone I cleaned out the pond a couple of weeks ago so perhaps he now prefers it!

I'm the same loads of pond skaters and water boatmen nothing frog/tadpole wise

Sorry to hijack the thread but what plants could I use to encourage them?

No frogs here either - one visited, sang for an afternoon and then cleared off again! But we do have lots of newts :-). Plus boatmen and skaters.

Good question Darcy, we'll wait to find out!

Dunno what we've got in the way of plants but I always have loads of frog spawn etc, I've just left the pond to its own devices although do need to take a few inches out of it to repair a leak at some point soon which I'm hoping won't effect the ecosystem too much.

Hostas attract slugs which attract frogs perhaps?
