Frog watch...

Despite the gloomy conditions I couldn't resist taking a few more shots of these fabulous creatures. The attached map shows all records of Common Frog that are on the MapMate database (not that many!), with 2010 records highlighted red. If you have breeding frogs in your garden or see them elsewhere, I'll add them to the map if you let me know (date, postcode or a grid ref will do, though an estimate of spawn clumps will be useful to know).

Mark Newton reported counting 130+ frogs spawning in a pond at Welsh Moor and Derek Thomas said that he saw spawning frogs in his garden pond in Murton during a mild spell as early as 16th Jan. Map updated.
