Frog Spawn

With the daffodils beginning to break in the garden, I have been keeping a close watch on the pond to see if any frog spawn had appeared. Sadly, although I have seen a frog in there, no spawn. Then, this morning, I saw a newt in the pond for the first time this year. Probably the frogs are not spawning there because of the presence of newts. I then looked in the fish pond, which is relatively new and, as far as I know, free of newts, and there were two small clusters of spawn!
