Would it be so bad to try spawn transplanting again this year do you think ??

I went & had a look at our pond yesterday because of what you'd said grindle & there is a little frog down there, it was sitting at the edge & must have been in the pond as it looked damp & had duck weed on it but it looked half asleep as though it had only just come out of hibernation, I put some mealworms down near it just in case it was peckish! Took a photo but it's not very clear as it was very dull & dark & I didn't want to shock the poor thing with a 'flash'!
