Frogs are to be seen anywhere and everywhere in the Goyt Valley, along with Toads. They inhabit ponds and ditches at all elevations, as confirmed by Frog spawn even if the adult is not always present. They congregate in large numbers in spring to mate and can be heard from a distance.
May 6th.
Along the Middlewood Way (SK10). This video with sound and families about on that spring day: March 13th.
I like the setting: June 15th.
First frog spawn in moorland vernal pools seen: February 23rd. 2023
Hiding in my Hedgehog House this steamy hot June day. There were a few slugs earlier but they may have met a grizzly end.
Ordinarily I have had a giant frog living in that house for months. It vanishes then suddenly reappears after many days missing.
