Well the frogs are about in the garden so I guess spring is really here. This little creature certainly looks in great shape
As for the new Flickr….. well to be fair they have addressed many of the issues around functionality that people raised with them. I think users need to give it a try for a while before they abandoned ship. I actually think the new photo page looks OK and you can see images full size and the image quality is good. Having said that for the next four weeks I will stay in the old mode by using the French version. I am in countdown mode for retirement and for a trip to the USA and consequently I am very busy. So I will make a fresh start when I get back to England when finally I may have more time
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY

Waiting for the Spring rains to arrive, tiptoeing through the Tulips and possibly waiting for the city to give me a citation
Found this fellow with his head just slightly peeping out of the water. He was too far in the water for a macro so I used 36mm of extension tubes on my 300mm lens for this one. I think it worked pretty well.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :^)
The scientific name for this species is: Lithobates clamitans.
Frogs in a swampy area, around the eggs. The photo was taken on Primotar 135/3, 5 and canon extender 2x
another snap from my 'shore shoot'...i was hanging over the bank of the pond with my camera, hence the interesting angle of this portrait
Eurasian Marsh Frog / pelophylax ridibundus. 03/08/18.
'BREAKING THE RULES'.
I'm breaking all the rules by showing the rear view of my subject....
I include it as it illustrates quite clearly the granular appearance of the MF's skin, plus the two thick parallel folds running down the sides of its back.
Also, it shows the well distributed darker markings over its back and all four legs. In this case they are apple green but they could be brown or black since these frogs have such variable colouring.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Sabah Slender Litter Frog (Leptolalax fritinniens) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
This is the first Leptolalax species I have posted so far so I'll take a moment to give some info about this genus. Leptolalax is in the Megophryidae family same as the Horned frogs (Megophrys) and the litter frogs (Leptobrachium) that I have posted in the past. Similar to the other two, members of the Leptolalax genus are also sit and wait predators and can typically be found sitting among the leaf litter at night. Interestingly, most Leptolalax species have been reported from very small areas and only a few species have large areas of occurrence, new species are also somewhat frequently described sometimes by new novel species and perhaps more often as a result of a split of a cryptic species. Leptolalax fritinniens is found in lowland rainforests in Sabah. It was recently split from L. dringi and L. gracilis.

San Diego Zoo Safari Park, 6-22-2016
Most frogs are characterized by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits (fingers or toes), protruding eyes and the absence of a tail. Most frogs have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, but move easily on land by jumping or climbing. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes, and their larvae, called tadpoles, have gills and develop in water. Adult frogs follow a carnivorous diet, mostly of arthropods, annelids and gastropods. Frogs are most noticeable by their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day, mainly in their mating season. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I lifted a plant pot out of a chimney pot garden ornament and found this underneath. There were hundreds of cherry stone husks under the pot, the kernal was eaten out of each one. They were obviously stored on purpose, but by what? I now know what ate the cherry stones, a Wood Mouse. Since the pot was flush to the ground, how did the frog get there?
We saw about 20 frogs in the garden today, mostly males.
