| Was netting some of the bits from the little pond today, bits blown in over the last few weeks, also got one frog and a baby goldfish, very nice suprise, but i think its parents have been eaten up, not a sign of one :( first time i have seen a frog in my pond this early tho, earliest was mid feb a few years ago.
seems our hobby is becoming less predictable than the weather! these odd mild winter with all the signs of a bad one are changing the seasons, seems we will soon have two, warmer and not as warm lol but sping and atumn will be profuctionary terms! |

I am amazed at how much we have seen of our goldfish this winter. Over the last 2 years they disappeared completely for a few months - to the point where I was convinced they were all lost to a greedy heron.
This year I see them every day fairly stationary but quite near to the surface
I presume it is the very mild weather. But even last week when it was cold they were in evidence

| me too annieo. last winter all they done was hover underneath the floating heater never to be seen. This winter i see them everytime i am at the pond, even during the few times it has completely frozen over. More recently they are skimming the surface, perhaps thinking its time to start to eat. |

Mine are still begging for food and have been quite active both on the surface and below. I too have also got babies (goldfish that is).
