Wonderfully taken !
We had frog spawn in the pond for a while but sadly my fish ate them, last year i got them out in time and brought them on myself.

It seems to have disappeared now,i hope its just sunk or our fish have had a feast ..
We have some indoors from Dawns dads pond,so we will have taddies one way or another this year ..

They do sink sometimes i believe, but the fish do love them and so do the birds now some of them are feeding their young.
Oh good they are fascinating creatures !

Awesome. Even with all the time I've spent doing field biology the past 5 or 6 years, I don't think I've ever seen frog eggs before. Very cool.

I am surprised about that mate,they are in just about any bit of water round here ..
Now Toad spawn is another matter,not so much of that ..

It's been one big long drought around here, so maybe that's what the problem is. Even the lake outside of town has completely dried up. ;_;

It is indeed - we are off to a relation's house next week and I will have my early morning task of fishing the frogs out of the swimming pool

You need special Frog-Napper gloves ..like an Octopus tentacle so they stick

Teehee - perhaps you should think about marketing that! Trouble is they like the deep end of the pool and I don't like opening my eyes underwater - so I spend ages with the net

,i think we may have to move them so the fish dont eat them though..
