Tadpoles proliferate in new ponds. As the ponds age, they reach a balance of much less numbers. The first and second springs of ponds see the most tadpoles. This is only based on my own experience. Maybe it's because of the predators being too small and few in numbers the first couple of years to make much difference. Large LMB and CC will catch and consume adult frogs.
