Frog porn?
Mar 1st, 2009 by Chris
After watching a DVD yesterday evening (Beowulf—not nearly as bad as the opening scenes suggested it was going to be) we flicked the TV over to see if anything was going on on the PondCam. Three pairs of eyes glowed bright in the infrared light. After a while there was a good deal of splashing as two pairs of eyes moved together. Could this be frog porn on our telly? A moment later the third pair joined them—a veritable amphibian orgy perhaps?
Alas it seems not. There was no more frog spawn in the pond this morning then the small ball which had appeared the previous day. It’s still around 3 weeks earlier than the first frog spawn we spotted last year though. And it certainly seems like a good few frogs like our pond.
There are plenty of other signs of spring too. We have a primrose in flower and another coming, the tiny new leaves are starting to uncurl on the hawthorn hedge and there are daffodils in the front lawn.
