Amphibians & Reptiles 2020

Kicking off this new thread with pics from my pond tonight ... very mild & light rain, actually went out to put fresh food & water out for Hoggies as I'd read that it was mild enough for them to come out of hibernation ... imagine my surprise to discover these critters 

One changed position

Looks to me as if the coupling is male on female ... what do you think!

Didn't have any females last year!

Saw some pics of spawn on FB last night at Lennon Legacy Project on the edge of Dartmoor!
