Topic: Tree Frog
Hi All, I was really interested to read that a tree frog had found it's way into a packet of Coriander from Wales, because my partner and I are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that we saw a tree frog in our orchard, in Wales. The orchard has a stream running alongside it which is bordered on both sides by hedgerow. The frog we saw was about 4-5cm long, nose to bum, a mid to pale bright green, with black flashes along the side of his head. I have been trying to find out what type of frog this is on the internet just now, and it seems we have a tree frog! We have just moved to a house with a lot of trees, a pond, a stream, and a LOT of wildlife. We have been there a fortnight now and have seen at least 7 common toads (a VERY big one, two VERY tiny ones, and a variety of in-between sizes), a newt (not sure what sort but it was about 8cm long and very dark). All of these live under the patio and come out reliably just as the sun goes down, except the newt, who is very elusive. Is this possible? Could this be a european tree frog? I don't see how it could be anything else! |

That's great to know! One further question, is the tree frog likely to linger around, or will it be moving on? I ask because I would like to know whether it will be worth my while sitting at the bottom of the orchard with a flask of tea and the digicam in case we see the frog again. I want to have a photo to show because a lot of people haven't believed me when I've said what I saw. |
