Default Tadpoles not growing into frogs

I would have thought little frogs would have made a nice snack for many
predators in including magpies, robins, herons, gulls, blackbirds, crows,
rooks, foxes, badgers, stoats.... its a wonder any survive.

I added a string of eggs, which hatched to tadpoles, which grew legs,

the
frogs hopped out and sat on the bank, and every one was soon picked off

by
jays... Watch out for jays....


That is horrible for you Jeanne. How awful to watch them get to that

stage
only to be picked off.
In the UK we don't have Blue Jays but during my time spent living in the
USA, along with humming birds they were my favourite to watch with all

their
antics.
I don't think we have any birds here who would threaten the frogs,

unless
anyone knows different?


Crows would possible get small frogs.

Owls?
