Froglet

Finally got the mower out this afternoon. As I approached a largish clump of damp grass out jumped this little frog. Dashed in for the Lumix and managed to get a few photos before it hopped away.

Froglet

It was only 30mm or so in size so I was lucky to notice it.


According to my weather station it rained on 10 days in July but the total was only 0.60 inches. I think it has only been the high humidity at nights which have given a little dampness to keep the grass from going brown and given some welcome damp shelter for the little frog, hopefully frogs.

    Lucky froglet. Could easily have been an ex frog.

    It was Adrian. I try to remember to keep a look out for frogs and newts.

    Thank you Roy. It took a while before it would stay still long enough.

    It was Keith and a good job it leapt away from the mower.
