Three weeks ago, I found frogspawn on the ground near the pond. I scraped it up and dropped it into our tadpole cage. Some was on a trainer that had been left near the pond. I dropped the trainer into a bowl of water, as it proved impossible to remove the spawn. Today I saw movement in the bowl.

There are at least 13 tadpoles in the bowl. Unfortunately, the frogspawn in the pond hasn't hatched. It was likely laid a little earlier, and scraping it off the ground may have damaged it. #frogFriday

Not only is it the equinox, it's also World Frog Day! 🐸
