Recent Arctic Weather May Have Killed Bulk Of UK Frog Spawn - Scotsman
ARCTIC weather conditions are raising concerns that this year's frog spawn has been frozen in ponds nationwide.

The Woodland Trust said tadpoles that survived or missed the freeze may face worse news and the droughts predicted for later this year could further devastate the population.

The warning comes as already diminished numbers of frog spawn sightings have been reported, compared with last year's Springwatch Survey at this time, run by the BBC in association with conservation charity the Woodland Trust and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.

The frog spawn reports have been appearing in reduced numbers across south-west England due to the cold winter.
