The pond baskets that serve as spawn 'nurseries' are rapidly filling up now... and I've still got a bucket-full in the summerhouse, while I'm waiting for a new kidney-shaped basket to arrive.

Loads of the spawn died last year, but if all goes well and we don't get a severe late frost I'm hoping most of it will survive. This will turn into a LOT of tadpoles!

I was really worried by the frog spawn which was frozen, then got a dumping of snow, but looking at it today now the pond has defrosted, I think they look ok. Fingers crossed maybe they do survive after being frozen.
