Just had to share this with members of the NG - our pond was only
finished at the end of September, and while clearing leaves today I
was delighted to discover (and replace) a huge frog! Don't know what
breed, but it was unusually browny-red on top - perfectly camouflaged
by the oak leaves. ( Will try to google for it.)

Made my day.

Lucky you ))))))

While I was clearing leaves out of our little pond today, I discovered a
tadpole!!!!! How on earth can we have tadpoles in mid November? !!!!!!

Not enough food so it didnt mature. I'm not sure if they can overwinter,
I've certainly seen tadpoles in my pond in late Sept.



They can overwinter. A couple of years ago I large tadpoles and frog spawn
in the pond at the same time.
