ok, we are in western Turkey, in dry hills, we built a big natural rainwater harvesting pond that serves for irrigation and even holds a bit water through the whole year and we generated ourselves a frog and toad paradise…

is this good? it is thousands… we had ducks (domesticated ducks, but living there really wild), but the foxes, coyotes and birds of prey were stronger… there is snakes here too. the water is not clean enough for keeping fish that could feast on the frog and toad spawn. there was a heron once in a while but seems like he can’t manage it. will nature regulate it by itself over time? or do we have to do something? so far i see no damage from the many frogs and toads except a noticable “disbalance” and their acoustic volume :D
