This is a puddle in the woods, just beside the path.

Frogspawn appears in ponds from January onwards, depending a lot on the weather and the region (the south-west usually has the first sightings). By March, frogspawn should be present in well-vegetated, shaded, shallow ponds across the country.

Around three weeks after spawning the tadpoles hatch out from their eggs. Each tadpole is about 12mm long and brown in colour. They will feed on the old jelly mass and any algae which is growing on it.
