Newt 1 A friend donated some newts for out pond, I took some photo's after I put them in. The rain added an interesting effect.	Newt 2
Tadpoles The tadpoles are getting bigger! OK I didn't use the web cam for this but the video option on my digital camera
Frogspawn! Ok so no a video - it doesn't do much! but we have  frogspawn in our first year. First noticed it on 12/03/06. Frogspawn is one of the indicators being used by springwatch . The BBC's monitoring of the coming of spring. On the BBC web site you can see an animated map of how the arrival of frogspawn is spreading across the country with the coming of spring (and add your own sightings). The tadpoles have now (7/4/06) hatched out and started swimming around	Squirrel Drinking (1,672 Kb) The squirrels come for a drink too, but being daytime the pond wasn't frozen.
