    I'm guessing there will be a lot of baby toads in that pond soon.

    It is quite a show the toads are performing. Probably you have seen the pictures on my blog when they were having fun with us, a few weeks ago. I guess you have been watching them for a while because it is amusing to see how busy they are.
    Greetings, Kees

    Mä innostun jostain syystä aina kovasti sammakoista. Niitä näkee kuitenkin aika harvoin.

      Kiitos, Tillariina! Niitä on hauskaa seurata. Jostain syystä en ole tänä vuonna nähnyt ainuttakaan sammakkoa monessa paikassa missä niitä oli todella paljon viime vuonna.

    Soon you should have many tadpoles, how many toads result depends on their escape from the predators. Great pics!

    It all looks very interesting but complicated. I guess the toads know exactly what to do?
