Wildlife UK Forum - Discuss the UK countryside and wildlife

How many of you have seen frogspawn in your ponds?

If you have, do you do anything to protect it against predators from outside the pond that might like to eat it? There is not much you can do about anything under the water, and there is more than enough spawn usually to cope with that, but I do worry about bigger land animals taking huge amounts.

We used to get frogspawn all the time in our old pond, its a great tool for getting kids interested in wildlife at a young age.

I didn't do anything to protect the spawn and we always had loads, so I don't think you should worry too much about it.

Remember that frogspawn is made to eaten, in that a huge amount is produced by frogs in the expectation that most of it will be eaten. I wouldn't worry about it all!
