My Tadpoles continue to grow but as yet I haven't seen one with legs.

There were loads in the ponds in the forest where I was today. No legs on them that I could see either.

I have read somewhere that it is the presence of iodine in the water that governs the rate that the Tadpoles mature. Mine usually do mature but sometimes it is getting towards autumn before they try to leave the pond.

I spent a little while on Tadpole watch today in my wildlife pond. I now have a full range of development stages. Some have no legs, others have two and few have four. I didn't see any ready to leave the pond as they all still had a long tail.

Glad that some have sprouted legs at last, Jacksparrow - must be the warm weather

I had my first Froglet today. It had found a nice cool place under my barby which I was moving to access something else. Mrs JS relocated it to a place of safety.
