It would seem they've woken up from hibernation. Either they can "smell" spring, or even they are fed up with this weather. There were literally hundreds of them on the road yesterday evening, the worst part is that they were impossible to avoid, especially with the traffic. I vaguely remember reading that in some parts of the country there were groups of volunteers that would monitor stretches of roads, pick them up (or was it toads) and then help them cross the roads a coulple of times a year, as well as help build wildlife tunnels. Does anyone know if they are active, and if they are, where are they based?
Running them over was utterly heartbreaking, poor little froggies.

Are they spawning yet? We put a small pond in last summer, was hoping to attract some but no sign so far.
They are alright, I'll see if I can dig out the links to the other posts mentioning this. If you only built the pond last summer, give it a bit more time, they'll find it eventually.

We had a pond for a few years with no sign of spawn. I know it isn't allowed, but a local man arrived with a bucket half full of spawn he saved from a deep tyre track on his land. We put it in the pond and have had frogs returning every year since. This year is a bumper year for spawn for us.
