First 2, now 4 legs...

It started a few weeks ago when James spotted a moving object at the bottom of the sheep's water trough at Gerogery. 24hours of tadpole catching ensued and with 5 tadpoles in hand (or glass jar) we came home, borrowed a fish tank, did some research about what tadpoles do and don't like and since then we've waited...
We've been rather excited watching our little tadpoles undergo their metamorphosis firstly with their back legs growing and then 'boom' their front legs erupt

And here they are now with 4 little legs!

I'm still sure I'm more excited about it than the kids!
