Busy frog.

Fantastic Mr Frog.........

Hard work looking after that lot......Lol

There are 5 lots of frogspawn now ! Lol

Busy indeed ...look at all that frogspawn.......

Thanks Janette....hoping for lots of little froglets !

Awwwww bless......think you should get your wish with all that frogspawn......

Aye Janette...also had dragonflies visit and lay eggs last year.Apparently the larvae partial to tadpoles...so just as well there are going to be lots !

Just as well ,theres lots then ,it would be a pity if they all got eaten. it must be fun watching them grow into little frogs....some day I am going to get myself a pond ,next year ,,,,,

Dont have to be very big Janette...Sid made one from an old water cistern..and Sanbaz has just made a small one too for her garden ! The best thing is that the young frogs disperse into the grass in July...so no mowing allowed for a couple of weeks !

how wonderfull jane/ray ive this to look forward to and will remember that no mowing in july , thats going to be hard lol

Good reason to get rid of the grass I hate the stuff lol

Flippin' heck, that's a lot. Wonder how many will make it to become a frog?
BB ~ Will you have to protect it from the cold/snow we are apparently going to get?

Oh San...probably be next year youre saying that...unless your frogs are late starters.Most of them have finished spawning now for this year.But just you wait next Spring !

Janette...No grass equals no job for a gardener ! Lol..still...maybe not a bad idea ! Lol

Hi Pg..hopefully the jelly sac will give protection against the harsh weather ! Will keep informed on progress !

i can wait jane and pond will be better then for them :o)

And happy with it .....

Thats what happened with us San...Ray finished the pond in time for my birthday..First of May...but the following year we had frogspawn in March ! This year even more......its great ! :o )

i bet it is, worry incase casper goes for them though, hope not, off no im bushed, nite jane, take care x

Me too San..night night x

Wow so many Bb........Mr Frog has got his work cut out here! Anyone for tapioca pudding???...:o)))

Lol...bringing back memories of school dinners here Janey ! Showing our age !!!!

Ugggg no thanks, remember it well !!!!

Great photo again Ray, what a huge family. I recall our son when he was young gathering frogspawn and having them in a jar indoors, that was ok until one day my wife saw all these tiny creatures on the rim of the jar waiting to leap into the room. I don't think she has ever recovered from that.

Well captured lovely little frog in amongst the babies to be

Lots of babies there is'nt there :o))

Tapioca...urgh......

Thanks all.....
Doctorbob...your poor wife ! Lol

Pg...what about semolina then !! ? Lol !

The frogs must have been bursting for someone to build a pond and look what happened. LOL. Lots of Little frogs expected from this lot of frogspawn then.....Good snail and slug detterent. Now I know how jelly babies came about.....oooops! sorry.

Thanks Lindak..have no problems with snails and slugs...frogs and thrushes sort them out...as Nature intended ! : o )

Wow! look at all those eggs... imagine the tadpoles when they hatch! (potential insect control!)

True Lori...if only a fraction of them make it...good news !

I had a melodious little lady toad who laid ropes of eggs in my other pond...the goldfish cleaned them all up!... sad but true.

What a shame Lori, but I suppose they are a delicacy to fish. I like toads, such characters.

Every summer I try to put out toad houses...sometimes just a half pot...or make a grotto under a large rock...Come home all ye toads! the trill of the female carries for a great distance...but it isn't intrusive. The lady toad that sang for weeks til her prince came, was quite loud...but it never disturbed our sleep.

Hi Lori and Lindak.We have toads too but dont usually see them until late spring when they come out of their nooks and crannies on rainy days ! They dont lay their eggs in our pond though..well not as yet anyway !

awww lovely photo

Thanks Eileen...
