As of yesterday there is still no frog spawn in my garden pond or at at Raw Nook LNR, which is concerning. There is still a very slim chance but it’s not looking good. There is a Grey Heron that visits the pond at Raw Nook LNR on a daily basis which may have affected the frog population at this location.
On a better note the Primroses at Toad Holes Beck at possibly at their best now so worth a visit…
There is at least 4 male Chiffchaffs in our area at the moment and just outside at East Bierley on the 28/3 a stunning Red Kite was patrolling the top of Cliff Hollings Rd
Spring butterflies are starting to show with a lovely male Brimstone at Caldene fields on 20/3
Sorry to tell you Martyn but we had between 20 & 30 frogs in our pond. They have now left but frog spawn is everywhere. There is still time but ours arrived during a brief wet spell.
Good luck in the days to come.
