Fornicating frogs!

The house we have moved to has a pond which is more algae than water. However, it seems to be more than adequate for the sudden arrival of heaps of frogs! The pond's surface looks like a jacuzzi with the frog's amorous activities!
Our landlord appears to be a very nature-loving person as there are bird-boxes and tables in the garden too. He advised us to put a tin of tuna (out of the tin!) in the pond to help the frog's spawn. The adults would eat their young without the alternative food source. So we are looking forward to spring and the emergence of the new baby frogs that will bring now. I will add photos here soon, but I'm not sure how many people are going to be interested in the sex-life of frogs!
