| | | what eats frog spawn?
Last year I had three clumps of spawn but it all disappeared - I don't know why. This year I have seven good sized lumps but am worried this will disappear soon. One lump looks as if it is being eaten, I am not sure. But I could be getting slightly obsessive.
We don't have fish - we have lots of frogs - and some newts.
Any ideas? |

I think Mallards eat it. In my local wildlife garden mallards are always around in the pond at spawning time, never at other times of the year. They pretend they are not interested, so I've been unable to catch them doing it!

Magpies and herons as well!! It must be like caviar to them, and very nutritious. | | |
