tentative sign of spring?

[Erichalfbee]

Should have put the traps out in the Spring to catch the queens……..Oh, sorry, it put me in mind of something else. Doh!

Everybody should read that thread. All of it.

Frogspawn end February.
Frost next day (happens every year)
7c, cold damp wind..
Spring ? Not yet..
Thermals today..

Just beware if a guy called Moses turns up

Just tell him to keep taking the tablets.

we often used to see loads of frogspawn in the flooded ruts in forestry tracks when out February hunting.

I see it on top of the beehives.
Our local buzzards pick up the frogs full of spawn and I guess some squeezes out as the birds takes off.

If I'd been picked up by an enormous bird of prey I'd probably squeeze some out too.

(Interpret "bird of prey" however you wish, there )

It lasts for a while wherever it is left, not least because it's not water soluble (obviously).

Ring-necked parakeets nesting here in local Surrey parks.

I remember those from when we lived near Hampton Court. Noisy buggers!
