Female frogs tend to be larger than males - but of course some of the small frogs are just immature - they take several years to get to full size. In spring, the females are the ones at the bottom of the heaps ;-)
Only a proportion of frogs over winter in the pool - a lot overwinter on land. So if you have some in the pond,, you'll get a lot joining them in the spring.
