timing of frogspawn

[bikermike]

I have seen pics in other places of ponds (near me) loaded with frogspawn. mine is still frozen. how lobg can the froggies leave their spawning?

[veggiechicken]

No spawn here yet.

Too early for us yet.

Next 3 weeks or so and most should be in full swing....Starting in the south... got a lot to do with temperature and weather....

Was admiring one old boy's frog spawn in his Belfast sink today - he reckons it appeared mid January.
Nothing in my pond or buried plastic sinks - but I'm 5 metres north of his plot...

My pond's still WIP but I'm hoping to fill it in time for spawning. Mind you, the frogs might not trust a brand new pond...

Unlikely, there will be no food for the tadpoles, needs to be some algae.

[bario1]

True. Next year hopefully! Or I could try throwing in a few dead slugs, just for fun?

I was thinking of a pond, but was also about getting a few ducks.

Frogs have been keeping the strawberry batch clear this last 2 years, so thought it would be nice for them...

but Ducks will see it as duck food...

Have they met you?

By old boy - Father?

Appol if on wrong track...

[Baldy]

Yes.

No.

No worries - happens all the time

[SelkirkAlex]

spawn? no such luck, hardly any liquid water here!

[DannyK]

No frogs or toads yet let alone spawn.

First frogs arrived here yesterday, usually it looks like a piranha fest when they all get going!

[Baldy]

Lets say that there is an uncared-for space somewhere that is brimming full of frog spawn.. so much that there is no way that it can all be viable.
Do I let nature take its course or do I liberate a bucket full? Spread it around (risk of duck weed et al) - there are one or two frog inhabited ponds that are without spawn...

If someone did- how best to for them to catch it without damaging - fishing net?
