They take risks this time of year. I've nailed plenty of them with dogs over the years. 1 hour ago, tatsblisters said: Anyone seen any frogspawn yet.

Funny as kids when we used to go pond dipping in channel's of water that gathered at the bottom of railway bank's frog's were very rare in these place's however toad's and their string like spawn were very common. I can't remember the last time i saw any toad spawn in places that every year frog spawn appears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got two wildlife ponds which are used by them now.I generally get about 25 males and a dozen females which return to spawn every year. Its usually about March 15 they spawn. I'll put a photo up. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was the same mate as well as a few other kids the same and all introduced to pond dipping by our father's who did it as kids as well as bird nesting that will be a rarity these day's. Always remember to what looked massive to young eyes that came up in the net a diving beetle that other kids gathered round to look at as none of us had seen one before. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember pond dipping one day and I noticed some older lads had caught a great crested. The twats pinned it with needles in each leg and then ran a knife down the centre of its belly. Shower of b*****ds, I couldn't believe it. I'm still traumatised. Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
