You might think it’s still a bit cold for frogs and toads, but frogspawn starts appearing in January and February, especially when it's mild. Did you know? One clump of frogspawn can contain up to 2000 eggs but only one in 50 eggs will mature into an adult. Don't be tempted to move any frogspawn between ponds, as this can spread disease.
