September Tadpoles
Seen in a large pool on the Long Mynd. A surprise to me but apparently not that odd. The metamorphosis from tadpole to frog depends on warmth and food and so a shortage of either can delay it. Also in a very few cases a mutation can mean that the tadpoles never develop into frogs. Tadpoles can overwinter and either way can then become frogs or live on as tadpoles.
