The Big Spawn Count project is into its second year in Northern Ireland! This project is part of a larger national project which involves you going out to your local or garden waterbody (e.g. pond) and looking for frog spawn!

Notes about using the map:
  • use the + sign on the right hand side of the map to change the base mapping used from Google to OpenStreetMap.
  • To create an accurate and useful record, use your mouse to drag the area of interest to the centre of the map window and use the zoombar on the left hand side to zoom in tight to the area where you made the sighting. When you have zoomed in, click on the location - this will autofill the Spatial Reference box above.
