Down at the reserve again tonight searching for the first frogspawn. We're already 3 days later than last year. All we saw on the ponds was....ICE!!! Walking around the reserve we disturbed a hawk who had recently killed a pigeon, didn't get to see the hawk close up, but our best guess is a Sparrowhawk. Saw a Heron flying over, possibly landed in the lake.
Lots of badger activity, will return to Badger watching closer to the full moon!
We haven't got any frogspawn in the garden pond yet either. The latest they have ever laid here is 31st March - so still time :) Perhaps just as well none yet with this cold spell. Glad to hear you have badgers there :)
