That was quick ...

... I popped outside today, into the surface of the sun heat, to check on our spawn.
Mr Brown had topped up the pond this morning but it's so very hot I thought I'd check the water level.
There was wriggling. My first thought was 'bloody mosquito larvae" but no, it was tadpoles. Dozens and dozens of tiny tadpoles.This made me smile.
The smile, of course, immediately melted and slid of my face, but I did smile. Extreme close up!

Wow, tadpoles already! That's amazing! I wonder how long it will take for froglets to emerge. Isn't Ma Nature marvelous?

As a child I would collect tadpoles from the little ponds in the srubland near our house. I loved them. I still find the whole thing fascinating
