How do I entice frogs into my garden?

Archeron

Last year, I had a good number of frogs frollicking around the pond in my back garden. Personally, I think they are really cool little creatures, and would love to try and entice them back again this year.

Last year, I had lots of goldfish and koi in the pond, but they have since been eaten by birds (RIP) and I am hoping that the frogs might actually spawn in the pond now that there is nothing to eat the eggs.

Any suggestions as to how I can entice frogs back again? Is there any plants they specifically like? I have a huge water lily which they seem to enjoy sitting on, but any other advice would be cool.

Ever see a frog run? I did last year when I startled one of them and its the funniest looking thing I've ever seen

Try sitting on an adjacent water-lily leaf and make buzzing noises, like a fly or insect

sorry, couldnt resist. They are cool little fellas tho, i agree

these guys might be able to get you some frog spawn or be able to tell you where to get it.
