Got some toad eggs from my cousin’s pond, deployed in my water gardens…

The little black dots have wriggled out of the gelatinous gooey strings and become odd little toadlings with tails. They look somehow more toady at this first stage than later, when they are round blobs with tails.
My camera is stoopid about focusing close, so I had to pull them out on a wet hand and photograph them.
