Quick answer
Amphibians tend to return to the same pond each year - it's
likely there used to be a pond present which the animals are
looking for.
Further
information
Amphibians migrate to ponds in spring, often returning to areas
where they spawned in previous years. If ponds have been removed
it can be common for amphibians to return to the area where a
pond used to be situated. In most cases they will eventually
move off of their own accord.
Ideally, consider re-installing a pond. If you have concerns
about safety there are solutions - including raised ponds, pond
grilles and fencing. Many ponds can be installed quickly and
simply.
Occasionally frogs will spawn in damp grass, small puddles
of water or other unsuitable containers near where the pond used
to be. If this happens carefully put the spawn in a bucket, and
move it to the nearest garden pond, asking permission first. There is no organisation that will come to your garden
and remove adult amphibians or spawn.
