#Spawnwatch... finally, that time when at least some of the tadpoles are only a few days away from metamorphosis

#Spawnwatch -- here are the pond 2 #tadpoles enjoying the sun today. This new, giant shallow area should result in much speedier metamorphosis than that of previous years.

These are the last survivors of the enormous number of clutches laid in the pond back in Feb 2026. To see how things started, go see... tetzoo.com/blog/2026/2/... #amphibians #ponds #frogs

Once again it is that time of year again, by which I mean… spawnwatch season, of course.

News From the Pond's Edge: Spawnwatch 2025 — Tetrapod Zoology
It is once more than time of year when the lone amphibian species here – the Common frog Rana temporaria – gathers to breed in ponds and pools. How are things going this year?

#Spawnwatch... we have awful weather, which is preventing a fair bit of froggy action. But at least I now see amplexus.

I couldn't help myself, and have written up #spawnwatch thoughts at Tetrapod Zoology. Shout-outs to key #books on British #amphibians, to nature gardening, to the ever-present menace of free-roaming pet cats, but above all to the value of #frogs... tetzoo.com/blog/2026/2/...

#Spawnwatch... the pond is still a muddy mess due to incessant rain, but 43 frogs counted this morning and now at 5 clumps of spawn. Turn volume up to hear frogs (as ever, traffic too).

#Spawnwatch -- many clutches still not hatched, but others fully are, with the degraded spawn now decomposing and numerous free-swimming tadpoles in their early, gilled phase.

ANOTHER #spawnwatch video, this one taken shortly after a 5th clutch of spawn has appeared (it's visible at right, where it's small and tightly bunched). 2024's count was 31 clutches... will we beat that this year? #frogs #amphibians

Pond 2, in newly renovated guise, still looking a bit murky... but the #frogs will arrive soon. Stay tuned for #spawnwatch.

Love it when you dig out your kit for filming and find unseen coverage from last year!

#Spawnwatch ... shallow end of the pond is sooo shallow, but the tadpoles hang out here a lot. The water gets really warm there. They're growing fast!

#Spawnwatch video from today. Turn the volume up and you should hear lots of croaking, though the background noise gives some idea of the urban craphole I live in. #amphibians

Tadpole activity in pond 2 today. Video taken in brief moment of quiet between bouts of chainsaw noise from up the road. Anyway... make a wildlife garden and a pond and you too can have this. #spawnwatch #frogs #amphibians #ponds
