Signs of Spring - February

It doesn't take much of an increase in temperature for frogs to leave hibernation.  As the continue to have warmer winters, there is always the possibility of frogspawn as early as February.  This is most likely to happen in the more southern and warmer parts of the UK, but really just need s prolonged warm period and a sunny pond!  Why not get your froggy friends in the garden a brand new home to help them thrive.  The Frogilo is a great addition to any pond area.

Bird Song is the perfect remedy to pick you up out of those winter blues.  It tends to be strongest in the early morning and before dusk, however this is by no means the rule.  Day time song is often heard from blue tits, great tits, greenfinches and chaffinches.  Whilst robins, song thrushes and blackbirds will be heard as dusk approaches.  They sing because mating is on their mind, with some mistle thrushes even nesting this month. Those that have broods early, sometimes have a second one later in the year.
