Counted eight frogs in the pond this morning... looking like they are also wondering when spring might arrive.   |

The weather was actually more like a proper summer's day today, and I counted a baker's dozen of frogs, sunning themselves today in the pond.

This Quintuplet grouping of frogs in the pond- one large, and four smaller ones gathered around.  |

I really like lizards, and see them so rarely.
His tail will grow back, won't it? I think I've heard that they have that ability.

They do usually grow back, though the new tail tends to be obvious as a regrowth.

Amphibian of the day for me was this frog lurking contentedly in the duckweed.  |

...and another one of the frogs this afternoon. They seem to have decided to all pile in on top of each other; all together I counted 17 of them in the pond.  |

I distubred something under a corrogated sheet this lunchtime, I think it was a baby Grass Snake. Was very small and well marked. Thought it might've been a Slow Worm at first but markings seem too detailed. Is it right time of year for baby snakes to be around? Only had a couple of seconds before it disappeared into the bushes.
Thanks,
Nige

Juvenile Slow-worms are very well marked. I would have thought a bit early for juvenile Grass Snakes.

A large Red-eared Terrapin last night at a local nature reserve in Barnes. Also a couple of Marsh Frogs calling.

As we got out of a friend's car at the London Wetland Centre she spotted 2 handsome Marsh Frogs sitting on a piece of wood in a duckweed covered dyke, sunbathing.They looked quite amusing with duckweed on their backs. Surprisingly these were the only ones we saw + didn't hear any calling.
