Toad and frog spawn laid last weekend is already hatching after this warm week. Thousands of tiny tadpoles eating the rest of the protective jelly at side of pond. It is a great sight. I am surprised that there were no birds taking advantage of this easily captured feast.

Spawning Frogs & Toads

Discovered at the weekend by David K, both Common Frogs (Rana temporaria) and Common Toads (Bufo bufo) have spawned and are still spawning on site. For a more detailed write up see The Embrace of Common Toads on the main Trust site.
