Swift Half update - 27th March 2011

• BST began today!
• We have two mating frogs in the pond (rarely do I see frogs in our newt-heavy pond). Click photo twice to enlarge.

• No spawn yet though - nor did we get any last year, so I'm not confident we'll have any at all this year either - and even if we do, the dozens of palmate newts in our pond will regard that as easy prey!

• The damson blossom is well and truly out - think this year looks like a good year for damsons (if we get a wet growing season, to swell the young fruit).
