          Was admiring one old boy's frog spawn in his Belfast sink today - he reckons it appeared mid January.
          Nothing in my pond or buried plastic sinks - but I'm 5 metres north of his plot...

            My pond's still WIP but I'm hoping to fill it in time for spawning. Mind you, the frogs might not trust a brand new pond...

              Unlikely, there will be no food for the tadpoles, needs to be some algae.

                True. Next year hopefully! Or I could try throwing in a few dead slugs, just for fun?

                  I was thinking of a pond, but was also about getting a few ducks.

                  Frogs have been keeping the strawberry batch clear this last 2 years, so thought it would be nice for them...

                  but Ducks will see it as duck food...

                      Yes.

                      No.

                      No worries - happens all the time

                          No frogs or toads yet let alone spawn.

                            First frogs arrived here yesterday, usually it looks like a piranha fest when they all get going!

                              Lets say that there is an uncared-for space somewhere that is brimming full of frog spawn.. so much that there is no way that it can all be viable.
                              Do I let nature take its course or do I liberate a bucket full? Spread it around (risk of duck weed et al) - there are one or two frog inhabited ponds that are without spawn...

                              If someone did- how best to for them to catch it without damaging - fishing net?
