My first Frog spawn of the year, large quantity and several Frogs present in small pond at Alderbottom. Regards Brian.

Ste Rush · Ste Rush

A first for the garden over the weekend where we now have 2 females and one male. Fascinating behaviour with the male taking on all comers and using the two abdomen spikes to good effect! Pictures of a female. Male is quite a bit bigger but very camera aware.
