There's a whole lot of spawn there Dave. What an amazing picture of it. Is this the pond that stayed green last summer or was that your new pond where you live now? I soon get mixed up.

Hi Alison,
The Salford Pond with the frogspawn is not the greeny one from last year. The Salford pond gets neglected most of the year, probably why the frogs love it so much, also, you can see the reflection of the railings at the edge of the garden. The frogs have easy access from some empty scrubland and a Cricket club.
My Manchester pond, the green one is alive with frogs at the moment, I'm about to go out there with my torch now. I'll let you know when I've had babies!

Hi Dave. Have the frogs gone now or are they still doing it?What is the oxygenator?

That's Water Starwort. It starts multiplying in midwinter and covers the pond by spring.
Its very easy to control and a favourite for newts to cement their eggs to.
Dave
P.S.
I have now got 12 clumps of spawn in Manchester !

Amazing amount of frogspawn
We have only a fraction of that and it still seemed a lot of tadpoles

My "Green" pond is 12ft x 10ft and over half the surface area was filled with frogspawn. I put several clumps in 4 buckets along with some pond plants. There are tharsands of em. Only one bucket didn't produce taddies.
