Is it Illegal to take Frog Spawn out of a pond?

[willhub]

Google did not bring up anything unfortunatly, but I'm curious, is it?

 

[nikebee]

I wouldn't think so?

Used to do this as a kid so we could get baby frogs in our pond at home

 

[Vonhelmet]

Googling suggests it's illegal to sell it, and may be illegal or at least unadvisable to move it.

There are protected newt species out there so unless you can positively identify the spawn, best not go there.

 

[taliesyn]

No, youre OK with frogs, but if there are any great crested newts around, make sure you don't disturb any of them

We have millions of tadpoles in the garden pond at the moment. My fish love them

 

[gillywibble]

There's one spawn every minute.

Ah, froget it.

I always used to do this when I was younger!
