Frog Spawn. Another sign of spring. I go to the waterside to seek out frog spawn and evoke memories of childhood. As youngsters, we collected front spawn in jam jars and carried it back home to the pond, watching the spawn turn to tadpoles and later into tiny, perfectly formed frogs. For old time's sake I gather some spawn in a jar, but later return to the water from where it came to develop into tadpoles. I show the results of predation on frogs, killed in their breeding waters by rats, magpies, foxes and herons.
