Spring has sprung – in parts – and continues to spring

At last, there are busy frogs in our pond and clumps of spawn have appeared. Though I am delighted to see them I am still concerned that the water isn't boiling with activity. Maybe, as the days grow warmer, more frogs will travel to our pond to shake a leg and do what's supposed to come naturally. Most years there are more than one hundred frogs disporting themselves and there are plenty of frogs to go round, though even so the inevitable frog clumps in amplexus are much in evidence.
