A sighting of frog spawn in puddles in west Cornwall on 2nd December 2025 is the first record to be added to an annual national survey led by Freshwater Habitats Trust.

The PondNet Spawn Survey maps sightings of Common Frog and Common Toad spawn across the country to monitor how amphibians use different types of waterbodies to breed. The records are inputted to a national database, which is made available for research and conservation purposes. The survey is also a way for adults and children to get outdoors and connect with nature.

This record was added three weeks earlier than last year’s first entry, when frog spawn was recorded in a garden pond on the Isles of Scilly on 21st December 2024.
