Gosh my tadpoles are taking ages to mature… is anyone else finding this or is it just the microclimate of our pond that is delaying them?
Nevertheless, it was decided that a froglet hunt was the order of the day.
I think you can see the results!
This little chap was basking in amongst the duckweed…
…and although he hasn’t lost all of his tadpoley-tail, he is definitely on the way to being a handsome frog.
I love him already. Apparently his name is Bert.
Brilliant.

I noticed that too, some of our smaller tadpoles failed to grow legs by very late summer.
I think I’ve still got some tadpoles left! Apparently they can over-winter, although in the masses of snow today, I do wonder how they’re doing!
