...250 to 300 animals spawning today at the same site at which the grass snake hibernacula was destroyed last year.   Not all is lost!

 

We have put a new pond in at the site also, so hopefully frogs will move in.

Yep it was really lovely to see them all!

This was just a small section of a long ditch that was bursting with frogs

A nice red female

A stunning orangey/yellow female

Full of eggs

This skinny female was hoping back into the forest after the stressful event

Here is a video I uploaded of the croaking, turn up the speakers, it was amazing to hear so many at once

They came out well Mark.

 

Did the video of the wrestling match that occured when that pair that arrived at the ditch and were immediately pounced upon by the waiting males come out ok?
