Frogs

Late February in my pond. The pond is one year old, but already has more than 10 adult frogs in temporary residence for the breeding season. A couple of newts spotted as well, but not photographed. A wonderful froggy chorus from them through the middle of the day.

Last summer



Ah... it seems I somehow missed 2018 in the blog sense. I've got some 2019 frogs ready to go, but first here's some pictures from last year. The Four-spotted chaser dragonflies are actually from Ham Wall in Somerset, not Tyntesfield, but I think they are worth sharing.
