Spawn To Be Wild

In the shallower part leading to the smaller pond where the Ducks and Goose walk, a frog has been busy.

The trouble is with all these webbed feet the spawn does not stand much chance so it had to be moved.

We quickly transferred the spawn up into the wild pond higher up in the garden.

Here it can develop undisturbed and in peace in the wilder part of the garden. We ended up though having four more lots of spawn to transfer into the pond, the frog being very busy down by the ducks and goose.

Still here in this pond it will be quite safe to an extent. It will have to share space with the toad spawn that always ends up in there and also the Newts that live in there.

We don't have to worry too much though about competition for space as we always seem to have a great number of frogs in the garden and toads who get everywhere.

I'm pleased to say that Ma Goose is now enjoying her company. She seems to be actively seeking out the ducks to be alongside them at times. All five where floating on the pond together the other day. Though she does walk off on her own to graze on the grass further over and sometimes just to doze by herself.
