      Oh coincidence! Saw my first one last night too after almost tripping over it on the pavement outside my house coming back from pub:)

        Heard them all in the pond next door recently, they made quite the chorus!

        Our poor French froggies were all full of the joys of Spring until Tuesday, when it snowed (again):gaah: They've gone very quiet again now.....probably huddling together for warmth!

        Saw a couple of big ones in my pond the other day.

        I've never, ever heard them though - I feel like I'm missing out on something special :cry3:

        Even at night, Mum? Our UK frogs used to rivit quite loudly in the spring, more so at night. It goes on for months here, though. What with frogs and cicadas, there's nothing quiet about the countryside!

        That is kind of you ... in the meantime ... I'm going to creep up and put a "Boo!" into their quiet world and see if that shakes them up a bit :heehee:

          You watch out for your ankles! If they are 'busy' at the moment, you could get grabbed by an amorous male:loll:

            I sighted my first Frogs this morning in my pond down by the bottom of the garden.

            It's amazing how it cheers you up and makes you smile when you get a glimpse of them!!:snork:
