Encouraging frogs
could anybody tell tell me why frogs have stopped coming to my garden ponds. I haven’t seen a frog or had any frogspawn for the past 3/4 years. Previous to that I used to have an army of them in the pond mating. I would mention that I have a lot of newts in the ponds and I wondered if that is anything to do with the lack of frogs.

Someone posted about all their frogs the other day, with photos.
I was interested and went off to read about frogspawn, and came across a nugget of info that said if you have newts there would be lack of frogs. I think it was that Newts eat frog spawn?
Sorry I didn't pay attention. I think it also worked out the other way around too for some other reason.
just replying until someone else comes along and Welcome.
My w/l pond is just starting year 3 and I was frustrated that I've never seen a frog or toad anywhere near it.
I've got a log pile in the shade of an apple tree a few feet away and 2 rock piles going into the water.
Almost right from day 1 newts have been in the pond, lots of them - maybe the frogs are aware and give it a miss.
