Topic: Red Frog
I have a red frog too. We count around fifty frogs emerging from our small koi pond each evening as we switch on the lawn sprinkler. We first noticed the red frog about a week ago... it is one of the larger frogs, and seems healthy and active - it is, however, blood red in appearance. I have never seen anything like it before. |

Topic: How Common are Red frogs in England?
I have only just found this thread. I did post photos of my red frog a few days ago - http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1626 &get=last Ours, as you can see, is quite a vibrant red.

I wondered whether something in this frog's environment might have contributed to its colouring, but then it is one of a large number of frogs in the pond - and all the others are normal in appearance. |

[QUOTE=Robert V]that did make me laugh!! Yeah, had me a overheat fest 2 months after I got the ***** thing! Cost me ú800.00. Head skimmed, new water pump, metal shims on the valves, you name it. Freelanders have a terrible name now though, just over the overheating thingy[/QUOTE] Our clutch went five weeks from new, a new engine after 2 years. Robert, I'd say you've been lucky! Despite all, I miss my Freelander and thought it was a comfortable, well-designed car. Just a pity it didn't go. We now have a Shogun Sport which has - touch wood - been very reliable. I too get the 'Buy a smaller car' posters stuffed on my windscreen, so I transfer them straight to the nearest Ford Ka. While they were so busy meddling with my windscreen wipers, surely they would've seen that my car is full of horsey gear - it is a working vehicle; it has to be big to pull a trailer with a 600kg nag in it. The alternative is to buy a car and a lorry... surely that would be more damaging on the environment? However, I disgress... |
