Rare albino tadpoles found

Experts on amphibians have been caught on the hop by a rare batch of albino tadpoles living in a garden pond.

Tiny pale globules of frog spawn and tadpoles are now under observation at a secret and closely guarded address in Carmarthenshire, west Wales.

Experts from Froglife believe the "highly unusual" discovery could point to a significant frog population carrying the rare recessive gene for albinism.
