Tadpoles and mini frogs! - August 2010

With so much frogspawn hatching in the spring, we had hundreds of tadpoles developing in the pond.  Through July and August many of them developed into mini frogs and used the pebble 'beach' to come out of the water and catch some rays!

Here is a shot of a group of tadpoles swimming round the beach.



And here's a few shots of the mini frogs - less than a centimetre long and very delicate!




(Sorry about the poor focus on the last one!)
