Due to horrendous weather in Scotland and the fact I work away during the week, I have not had chance to clear the leaves from my pond.

It's my plan for this weekend.

Could this activity cause a problem for any spawning frogs? I assume I'm better to dive in asap and clear the leaves so they can do their stuff.

I think they will adapt just fine to whatever you throw their way. Nature has built them to survive!

I was shifting around some lily pots the other day and stirred up a couple of nice, big green frogs. They found a new spot to hide!

I thought it would be ok. Just wanted to check. If I came across frogspawn that was already there, I presume I would still be able to clear leaves without destroying or disturbing that?

James do you have any fish in your pond please ?
If so be careful that the frogs don't try to grasp them around the gills which they can in the throws of passion killing the fish through suffercation.
