Today marks the first day of the 2025 PondNet Spawn Survey. We’re inviting people across the UK to get involved by recording Common Frog and Common Toad spawn they have spotted in their garden, community ponds, and out in the countryside.

Freshwater Habitats Trust has been collecting data on sightings of breeding frogs and toads since 2012. With 2,064 records added, the 2024 PondNet Spawn Survey was the biggest so far.

Sightings typically start in the South West, often before Christmas. Last year, the first record was from a large puddle near St Ives in Cornwall on 21st December, followed by another from a garden pond in the village of Lesnewth in the Valency Valley, North Cornwall on Christmas Eve.
