| | | Tadpoles
Anyone else seeing tadpoles about? I thought it was a bit late in the year for them but whilst out walking along the shore this morning we spotted some in a small pool. Quite big, black, but no legs yet. |

I may be wrong but i think some tadpoles that maybe started late can hang on and stay as tadploes until the following year?.... |

Yes, tadpoles can overwinter as long as they don't get frozen

yes they can over winter, its been a common theme this year with the tadpoles underdeveloping, i think its simpily because there isnt enough food around for them. |
