in the garden might eat the frogspawn in my pond...how can i stop it from being killed off?

You could try putting a net over the pond.

Failing that, try asking somone on froggers they may have a butterfly catcher !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are there fish in your pond? We found that they were the worst culprits

Concrete it over.

The "jelly" that coats the developing spawn is there to protect it. The spawn is more vulnerable after its developed into tadpoles, if fish are in the pond, they will certainly eat some.

I once saw a grass snake clear a whole pond of spawn.

*******, you'll be able to write a book about ***** soon.

Last year, we watched our little darlings develop into dear little froglets and the big bad blackbirds kept dipping into the pond and eating them.

Aren't I allowed to say Fw0ggie and fw0gs, then?

If you've got newts in your pond they'll eat the very tiny tadpoles which hatch out from the spawn. Otherwise birds will come to the edge of your pond where tadpoles come to suck up the algae and eat them (particularly blackbirds and magpies in our garden). And if you've got fish, they'll eat the baby tadpoles too.

If you get a heron then the fish won't be a problem any longer.
