Where are all the frogs?
I’VE BEEN KEEPING A RECORD OF WHEN MY frogs arrive and spawn in my fairly large pond. In 2014, we had huge numbers and the pond was alive with their thrashing. In 2020, we started to get less and less, and this year I’ve only found one small clump under a plant’s overhanging leaves.
We used to have toads’ spawn as well but nothing for a few years now. I’m very concerned as I believe there’s a disease that you’ve mentioned in the magazine. Nothing in the pond or garden has changed. Where are they all? I miss my evening entertainment!
