      More spawn

      Posted on August 10, 2009 11:49 by Ben

      Crikey! Those frogs are keen. This morning there is another egg mass in the pond. Very subtle, only a blob of foam about the size of a 20 cent piece. Most of the eggs are well below the water level.

      I had a look in the dams at Manangatang on Sunday morning but couldn't see anything - which doesn't mean anything's there. I also haven't been able to see anything in our dam here. If they are going to be laying eggs, I just hope they put them somewhere near the center of the dam, because the outside is drying out. In the next few days we have to decide whether to start putting water back into the dam or not, which will depend on how many mosquito wrigglers are in there. I'll have to go out at night to get a proper idea - can see a few around in daylight so not a good sign.

      Looks like we will definitely have tadpoles in the pond.

      How long will it be before the eggs hatch? If I visit you on the 24th August will there be any action?!

      Hi Pascale,
      The first of our eggs have hatched (or otherwise disappeared - maybe some birds got them?) but there are two more sets of spawn left. There may not be a lot of 'action' on August 24 but you can be assured that something will be happening.

      I think I saw one small dark taddy swim up to the surface in the centre of the pond and back down, otherwise I didn't see anything. But very exciting to see all the tadpoles you and the boys found in the dam! Hope the rain came yesterday!
