Topic: European Tree Frogs
Unfortunately as a young kid, I caught a couple of tree frogs from the pond at Hill top near Beaulieu. I only kept them for a few days as they were so noisy, my parents made me release them. This would have been in the mid to late 60's. At the time we were told by locals that the colony had been introduced by someone returning from France after the war, I'm assuming 1st world war. The last time I saw a tree frog at Hill top was around 1978, I can be certain of the date as I took a photo of one of the frogs with a college camera, I was at Art College untill the summer of 78. I still have a print somewhere, when I find it, I'll post it on here. As far as I can recall the frogs had a black eye stripe. |
