Yeah, has been unusually warm. Our hanging baskets still have flowers on them.

Agree warm at moment birds are looking to nest mate. Lots of birds around at the moment. And plants starting to show growth. Could be in for a shock if this snow comes

i walked into the wild area and heard the frogs/toads croking but they went deep into the ponds but alot of frog spawn this year,

 

[chris68coupe]

Not the first one I've seen this year but the first to sit still enough for me to get my camera.....

Dads said he saw a newt in the wild pond when i got home today so just gone and had a look chris think i will need your camera as saw two tonight but they were in the bottom of the wild pond will keep on looking might see them on the top or trying to escape to wild areas ?

 

[chris68coupe]

I think they only stay close to the surface or edge of the pond when they are young. As they get older they go deeper to avoid predators. Eventualy they leave the pond and live most of there lives out of water, returning to the pond to mate in early Spring (Or January in my experience this year).

For more info, ask Chris Peckham or David Attenburger.
