You do have the advantage of a garden pond of course but I have looked in likely places while out for the last week or so and found nothing. HLH has seen Brimstones while on his lunchtime walk with Louis on a couple of occasions recently though.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-56244735545482204802011-03-22T16:42:15.288+00:002011-03-22T16:42:15.288+00:00Amazing how the frogspawn seems to appear from now...Amazing how the frogspawn seems to appear from nowhere John.

Frogs are funny things one would assume that once they started breeding all hell would be let lose. No....you can't find the beggars........another week and we'll be overrun with them. I've always suspected the first spawn is meant for fish.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
