Help the Freshwater Habitats Trust map spawn sightings & protect habitats.
It’s easy to take part in the Fresh Water Habitats Trust's PondNet Spawn Survey and anyone can get involved. Simply log your sightings of Common Frog and Common Toad spawn to help learn more about amphibian breeding activity across the UK.
The PondNet Spawn Survey maps the sightings of Common Frog and Common Toad spawn across the country to better understand how amphibians use different types of waterbodies to breed.
Freshwater Habitats Trust runs the PondNet Spawn survey from December to May. With your help, they can collect important data on the location of breeding frogs and toads. To take part, record Common Frog or Common Toad spawn spotted in garden ponds or any ponds, ditches or puddles you come across in your adventures in the countryside.
You can also share your sighting on social media, using the hashtag #SpawnSurvey
