Surprisingly long tail on what i believe is a bullfrog at end of the tadpole life cycle.

Commentary.
Steyning is a town at the northern end of the Adur Gap through the South Downs.
The town dates back to Saxon times over 1,000 years ago.
The Parish Church, originally dedicated to St. Cuthman,
eventually became jointly dedicated to St. Andrew.
Nearby Bramber Castle was built following the Norman invasion and acted as a defence against invasion from
south or north through the Adur valley.
Trade and religious disputes soured the relationship between
Bramber and Steyning for several centuries.
In the 14th. Century the River Adur began to silt up causing
the loss of trade and population to both places.
In 1614, the Alderman of Chichester founded Steyning
Grammar School, in Church Street, just off the High Street.
This Jacobean building still stands today, but the main school
is now sited at the northern end of the town.
The railway linking Guildford to Shoreham via Steyning
opened in 1861, but fell foul to the infamous Beeching cuts of the 1960’s.
The rail route has been preserved as a foot, bridle and cycle way, known as the Downs Link.
The Old Town Hall built in 1886 is now an Estate Agents.
Agriculture, brewing, tanning and brickmaking formed
the core of the economy in the late 19th. Century.
Today the town has three pubs, a good variety of shops,
a Health Centre, Public Library and Museum.
The Leisure Centre, including a swimming pool, was funded by the National Lottery.
Steyning Grammar School is now a comprehensive
serving 2,500 pupils from a wide area.
There is also a Primary School and Pre-School.
The town has cricket, football and athletic clubs.
Its prized architecture includes Tudor, Stuart, Georgian and Victorian buildings as well as 20th. and 21st. century developments.
The High Street’s main landmark is the tile-hung Clock-Tower.
The town hosts many walkers on the nearby South Downs
and day-trippers making for the coast, a few miles to the south.

Never easy grappling with a camera when cycling along even my Olympus point & shoot but this is the best.
Interesting temperature contrast, -2c in freezing fog for the first hour or so rising to +18c just after lunch.
As weather goes though I will happily accept more of this!
Bicycle friendly city met me with a very hot weather but rather small traffic. World is different from different view points: pedestrian, car or bicycle. This was my first experience of the latter. And... Donau city deserves separate photographic attention, so I'm looking forward to another session pretty soon.

The Yakima Cycle Shop's animated neon sign is now part of the Yakima Valley Museum's Neon Garden. Next to it is a sign for an office supply store.
The five-wheeled cycle… could you image having this many stabilisers on your bike? The Post Office trialled the “Hen and Chicks” pentacycle for delivering mail in 1882.
Although postal workers had used bicycles for years, a new parcel delivery service meant staff needed to carry much bulkier loads. It also saw their job title changed from letter carriers to postmen for the first time.
The pentacycle had huge baskets and five wheels, and looked like a lot of fun to ride. However, its popularity never extended beyond the town of Horsham, in West Sussex, where its inventor lived!
The pentacycle is one display in The Postal Museum, London.
The Western Cycle building came down this week in order to make way for the Valley Line West LRT expansion. The iconic store and its sign stood on 124 Street for 80 years. I shot this photo in August 2019.
The sign was salvaged for the Edmonton neon sign museum.
