A sign of approaching spring



The first European Water [green] frogs have emerged from hibernation today. Although not calling yet, they may be seen on south-facing banks of ponds and lakes as they begin the all-important task of absorbing the heat of the sun. These early frogs often appear quite dark and are well camouflaged but brighten and become greener as the season advances.
