Tadpoles

Since our pond is only a temporary one, we donated most of the frogspawn to a neighbour with a new pond. However, we left a bit behind, and the first tadpoles have hatched.

They are so small (less than 1cm long) that it’s rather hard to get a good picture…

Frogs

As the digger removed the old pond, we found 15 frogs, no doubt somewhat upset by all the noise and destruction of their habitat. We took them to a nearby pond. This weekend, I found 7 more frogs in a pile of stones near where the pond was. Now that we have a new (if smaller) pond, they were delivered direct to their new home.
