since I created a pond in my garden 16 years ago every March it has been filled with mating frogs, and consequently enough frogspawn to fill the whole surface of the pond. This year only 2 frogs have turned up, instead of about 50-60+ frogs. Nothing has changed in our local environment, is this anything to do with the disease of frogs that was reported in the last couple of years? |I have restocked the pond with spawn from another source, anybody else noticed this phenomenon?
Well corylus I have not had one single frog to date,In most years we have had several but I'm afraid not one this year which has been very disappointing to say the least.Even my bird count is down compared to other years.g.
This happened to us 2 years ago we wondered if there had been a disease that had affected them but we needed have worried they are back this year we must have had about a hundred in the 2 ponds in our garden.
