Frogspawn in a little pond, end of April
Frogs return to ponds each spring to lay their frogspawn and then most of them disappear, just as quickly as they arrive! The timing depends on the weather and actual location. Three weeks after being laid the frogspawn is starting to develop into tadpoles. Although it may not be obvious in this small picture, the black dot inside the frogspawn jelly is now elongating into a tadpole shape.
