Yes they were black! They looked like peppercorns with tails.

Hi Peg,

Were they pitch black in colour? If so then they were toads and they leave to
be landlubbers for the year. Treefrogs head for the trees, others like to be
close to water but don't live in it all that much.
Bullfrogs and greenfrogs are the most aquatic of the frogs but much bigger as
tadpoles so we know they weren't those.

I have a big jar full of treefrog tadpoles and anacharis on my kitchen table.
All the teenagers that cycle through my house always have to check the jar to
see who has legs or arms.
