Tadpoles at Middleton
I'm not sure if this is the official collective noun for tadpoles, but Barrie Swinnerton aptly labelled this photo taken in his Middleton garden pond today as a crush of tadpoles.

Common frog spawn
25 February 2010
Frog watch...
Despite the gloomy conditions I couldn't resist taking a few more shots of these fabulous creatures. The attached map shows all records of Common Frog that are on the MapMate database (not that many!), with 2010 records highlighted red. If you have breeding frogs in your garden or see them elsewhere, I'll add them to the map if you let me know (date, postcode or a grid ref will do, though an estimate of spawn clumps will be useful to know).
At last it's time to spawn...
The first sign of milder weather and they're at it! When I went to feed the garden birds this morning there was a mass of frogs diving for cover and I found 5 freshly deposited clumps of spawn in the pond. I'd be interested to know when others have seen or see their first spawn of the year?
