Loads of frogspawn in my ditch.

  1. If it’s an accessible place, you could invest in fencing it with a bit of sheep wire. A lot of frog spawn and tadpole ponds are decimated by a few pets marching through.

  2. Early in the year for that kid of carry on. Right enough though I always though May was frogspawn time.

  3. Fun fact! You have to have a license in Ireland to remove or otherwise disturb frog spawn. You get them the National Parks & Wildlife Service and there is a special teachers license you can get so you can bring frog spawn into schools for abit of learning.
    Another fun fact it is an especially good year for frogs apparently, can’t move for frogs spawn near my house

  4. This brought back a memory from childhood. We had a small pond near our house and one year it was full of this and it had a rickety bridge going it and one of the kids from the street decided to cross, bridge snapped and she fell in, got covered in this stuff. It was rotten.

  5. Id always see the water channels in Glendalough filled with frog eggs, I try to visit every other week just to see how they get on.

  6. Lads.

    You know the way it’s illegal to take frogspawn from the wild?

    What I don’t get is that probably 99% of them get eaten before they can even become frogs, and if you were to nurture some through tadpolehood and release them later, wouldn’t you be doing frogkind a favour?

    Any naturists here?
