The weather was beautiful at the weekend and I decided to get rid of some of the duck weed in our pond and some of the water lily pads which seem to be in abundance. The tadpoles are doing well and their little legs are now just visible. I got my camera to try to take a shot of them and who should come swimming towards me - and then away again - one of the newts that live here. I love to see them.
Here is a picture of the tadpoles - not sure that you will be able to see their legs though.

I thought you were going to say . . . . . . and you jumped in too!!
Great video and I love the picture of the tadpoles. We have frogs in our pond but no sign of any tadpoles.
RAC - I think that must be why I like our pond so much! A
Denise - It was so lucky that I just happened to have the camera at the ready. A
Leia - he is a great fun to watch but I don't see him very often. A
Lindsay - now that would have been a sight! A
Sunnymama - glad you liked the video - hope you get some tadpoles next year. A

Oh, I love newts! We used to have a ton of them but they all left. There are none in the fish pond of course. No frogs either. I miss the frogs and newts.
Maybe we'll extend the fish pond some day and make a little ramp for the froggies.
I love to watch them too:)
Lovely post Anne!
