Clearing the pond today and noticed quite a few tadpoles there. Didn't
think they should be there at this time of year. Should they ?

Some, normally those from late spawnings, do stay as tadpoles and overwinter
that way, turning into frogs early next year, provided they make it.
They can be quite big too, are your's bigger than normal tadpoles? I've seen
some huge ones late in the year.
