Out in my garden in the dark hours my torch fell on the first frog I have seen in my small pond. He or she had slime on its nose but appeared quite happy taking a dip amongst the pond plants.
Common Frog (Rana temporaria), rear garden pond, Staffordshire, England. June 2017.

Wow, what great shot this is Pete. Worthy of a frame, I reckon.

Thank you very much, Ark 🙂 I don’t think the poor blighter realised what was going on. One minute he was enjoying a nice night dip in the pond, and the next there was a spotlight on him like he was a prisoner trying to make his escape! He just froze like that with pond scum dripping off the end of its nose.

🙂 They might work, but you just wouldn’t be able to see ’em very well 🙂

Well, I had the shed light on, the pond lights on, and it was still quite dark, so I had to lay the torch down and spotlight him with the torch, and flash him/her, with my camera that is. Poor devil must have wondered why it had suddenly drew so much attention!
