Default Frog and tadpoles

Soon after completing 'laying' my very small garden pond last summer, a
frog quickly took up residence. It has resided there all through the
winter and today I discovered I have frogspawn, lots of it! As my pond IS
so small, what do I do now? Leave the frogspawn to develop into tadpoles,
lots of them, allowing nature to do what it will. Or remove some of the
frogspawn now? TIA.

===================
How small is small? You can remove some to a nearby lake or larger pond
(ask owner first). You can leave them all and hope for the best. They will
eat flake fish food. If they start to starve and die they may foul the
water. If there are too many and no filtration that may happen anyway.
