Pearls of the pond

Our first batch of frogspawn ‘pearls of the pond’ was laid on 13th March this year which must be at least seven whole days later than our first clump last year. The second lay of spawn appeared during the first week of April.

Tiny tadpoles are wriggling over their jelly homes from the first of the nurseries. None of the second lay have yet broken out of their eggs.

I wonder how long it will take before they begin to grow their little ‘frog’ legs?
