The Frogspawn has hatched. They are still so tiny, not recognisable as tadpoles, and they remain stuck to the outside of the empty sacks munching away on all that protein rich jelly until they are strong enough to swim free. I am so excited, I've watched over them every day..................Every night I go outside, creep around to the pond and watch mummy frog and daddy frog suspended, spreadeagled out, floating near the surface of the water with just their heads fully out of the water. They seem to be mesmerised at night, you can gently touch them and they don't dive away. I've found its the best time to see them.
Oh, wow. That's so cool. We couldn't have frogs here. The raccoons would have a lovely dinner of frogs legs for sure.

ReplyDeleteneat-you will really enjoy them-I love out frogs at the ponds
ReplyDeleteThat is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat's great :-)). Won't be long til they're free-swimming.
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I like frogs and *they* say when there are frogs there is no pollution as frogs are so fragile.
ReplyDeleteOh what a marvel indeed, dear Loretta !
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the Photo, and then saw them very clearly.
At the Nature Centre where I work, the frogs have spawned all over the place. I have discovered since that many tadpoles are eaten by their own species. Hopefully enough will survive to start a new generation.
