The fishponds are absolutely heaving with frogs and there's a lot of spawn
laid already. I haven't seen any toadspawn yet. How about anyone else?

Toadspawn (and I don't mean the labour govt!) generally comes a couple
of weeks after that of the frogs.

If you've fish in the pond then you will need to "fish" the toad spawn
out because it's poisonous.

Toadspawn is recognisable for being in a longthread. And it's
a burden to get out because the knot of toads go round
and round every plant in their extended orgy.
