Today felt almost spring-like - and sure enough there was some sign of life on our walk up the quarry road. In the top left of the first picture is our first frogspawn of the year, and in the bottom right, its predator.
There were at least two newts - and some more eggs. At least I presume they were eggs - but I haven't been able to identify them.
This was all in a dusty puddle by a gate into the quarry - a little-used gate as far as I know. But Scotland is full of water, so why do they have to choose this unpromising (and temporary) pool?
