Hi IÆm new to the site, just joined the other week so I thought IÆd make a post

Installed a small pond ( only 32 gallons) late February this year, let it settle for a month and then added plants etc, acquired  a dozen tadpoles from one of the lads from work.

All seemed to have changed to froglets ok (no fish in the pond) and since the pond was installed have had 3 adult frogs take up residence.

A little about myself ( as there doesnÆt seem to be a new user introduction thread)

Have always been into wildlife, reptiles have been one of my all time favourites in my early years (early/mid 70Æs) I used to keep the odd couple of sand & common Lizards the odd Grass snake, newts, frogs and tadpoles from the ôlocal small ponds at Deepcut rangesö now covered by a Golf course, then slowly moved into the exotics, BoaÆs, Pythons, Lizards of all shapes and sizes and even a spectacled Caiman! Now sadly all gone Due to WWW  wine , woman and worst of all work!

Well I'll have to try and get out ,to see whatÆs about, as I normally frequent wildlife parks these days (mainly Marwell) might have to try the Portman ravine? As that seems like about a mile from my nephews place.

Here's a Picture of a common frog that frequented a large Tin Bowl last year before we put in a Wildlife pond ( as in a post or two above)

something strange occured to this years batch of my common frog tadpoles
one in approx every 10 became very bloated during the final stages of their development
i know sometimes before the front legs burst through they can look rather large, but this was after all 4 legs had developed
in fact the legs looked very small, and i doubt would have supported their body weights
have a look at the pics and let me know what you think
