We inherited our pond when we moved here and the water level always goes down to about 2-3 inches below ground level, (think we have a leak in the liner), but we've made it as frog friendly as possible, by building 'bridges' from rocks and wood and keeping the pond well stocked with plants for them to shelter in. We've also made a 'frog house' out of old clay pots in the shady plants around the edge, so hopefully they'll enjoy their habitat.

Like you said, I think I just have to accept it's predators and that's nature of course. I'm just glad, from what you've all said, that it wasn't any nasty disease or anything.

Once again, many thanks.

Predators as beautiful as dragonflies are well worth a few tadpoles/ baby frogs in my book
