In case you haven’t looked at the comments closely the three most recent are particularly interesting and encouraging.
First, from Cliff:
“I put a post on the 25/02/10 reporting the dead frogs and the smelly pink water in my pond.
I decided to empty the pond yesterday (Saturday). I purchased a pump to make the job easier and faster.
On reaching the bottom of the pond I found more dead frogs but surprisingly a greater number of live ones.
I netted these out and cleaned out all the debris at the bottom of the pond.
I then washed out the pond with the hose pipe and then re-emptied before putting in the new water from my rain water butts (that’s good news! – J): this has only filled a quarter of the water needed to fill the pond as I was doing this the rescued frogs were jumping back into the pond even though they had been moved away to be near the fish pond.
This morning I have noticed a large number of frogs are now in this pond even though I have had to put a plank of wood up the side in case they want to get out before the pond is full of rain water.
Second from Nigel:
“Hi Jeremy, Good news! After all the gloom and doom felt in my household with the loss of our over-wintering frogs it was great to find 2 “live & kicking” ones in the pond this morning. Even better was finding a load of spawn – Nothing yesterday at all and full of life today! Nature can be both hard and wonderful at the same time. Regards, Nigel”.
And third, from Jacqui:
“Just counted 7 frogs in our little pond 
and there is more spawn:-).”
