I was delighted to find a Backswimmer
in the little wildlife pond this evening.
It won't be long before Autumn arrives.

Pond Project #1 - 04/7/2012
The toads have finally gone,
it was fun watching them develop.
Fingers crossed they come back one day.
This is how the pond looks now:

Apologies for being
trigger happy with the camera.

Pond Project #1 - 01/7/2012
A few weeks after the water had
cleared in Wildlife Pond Project #1,
I put in some tadpoles I'd rescued from
a nearby pond which had almost dried up.
Here they are nearly two months later.
As you can see they
have now metamorphosed.
I'm pretty sure they're toads as I've read
that toad tadpoles are almost black in colour.
Frog tadpoles on the other hand are usually
speckled in colour and larger in size.
