As a child I have fond memories of taking frogspawn from our pond and moving it to the local river. According to the froglife charity though, this isn't a good idea at all and could be spreading "invasive plants and harmful diseases".

The problem is not the frogspawn itself, but the water it is moved in could contain species of plant which are invasive.
