With storms Doris and Ewan, March has certainly come in like a lion. More importantly our garden frogs have belatedly decided it is time to spawn.

| Spawn first seen 2nd March 2017 |
I wasn't around to see it myself but Mum let me know when I came home from work. This year's spawning is quite late compared to the February dates for 2014-2016.

Meanwhile, while I've been driving along country roads, I've seen the first daffodils and wild primroses appearing as we are blown headlong into spring.
It's really interesting to see all the different dates.
ReplyDeleteI've been quite inspired by people who have noted "firsts" in places for many years. I've not been so consistent with most things but have managed it for the frogs.
