Tadpoles (Frog?) Photographed by Gary Barlow 23/02/2013
There were literally hundreds of tadpoles in the new scrape, from the mass of spawn earlier I guess they are Frog. This is very early for tadpoles, the water had a thin film of ice on it. The sheltered southerly aspect of this part of the site may account for this.
