Well my toads ('ark @ me, my toads!) laid strings of spawn on Monday night, spotted them on Tuesday.
2 days previously I was doing my nightly pond check when I could hear a high peeping noise. Tracked it down to a bundle of toads, not able to get to the pond due to the wall. If only they'd worked out where the path and ramp was hehe.
Anyway I picked up the lady toad and her locked on, gripping tightly, paramours and dumped them in the pond. I guess it was the right thing to do :)
