Toads...
It's funny but Common Toads Bufo bufo always seem to spawn a few weeks later than our native frogs, so it was no great surprise to find three large adults in the pond at Whitestaunton over the weekend. This week I would expect to see the strings of spawn appearing around the weed. The frog spawn from a few weeks back has now hatched into thousands of small tadpoles and smooth newts should be visible now too but I haven't caught up with one yet, plenty of time though.
