I went out in the garden just now with a torch to see what wildlife was
lurking in our small pond. There were a couple of large frogs and a
toad, along with all the goldfish. I was more than a little surprised
to see about thirty tadpoles, mostly without any signs of limbs growing,
in groups on the stones in the shallow bit. I would have thought that
by now most tadpoles would have done whatever the technical term is for
turning into the adult toad or frog. Is there such a thing as a second
spawning, or is it that I just haven't noticed tadpoles at the end of
August before? How late in the year can tadpoles transmogrify (if that's
the right word) themselves into adults to survive the following winter?
