Rained in last 4 hrs. Both wetlands are very clean as usual except for slight turbidity. Frog and tadpole activity very high. Shallow dam left side of wetland 2, has abundance of frogs and dozens of tadpoles counted in one small bucket sample. Many egg sacks at edge amongst vegetation. Noticed only seed shrimp and several backswimmers without carrying out a full bug sample. I didn't check for bug sampels at either wetland as wanting to leave frog activity undisturbed.
