Thanks for viewing !! :o) -- First, i want to apologize for not commenting very regularly... I have been behind 10 pages for the last 4 weeks or so and have trouble catching up... time... *sigh* Due to circumstances i have hardly commented yesterday and wont have very much time commenting today... But i promise ill catch up soon :o) - European Common Frog (Rana temporaria) Length: 6 - 9 cm The dorsal surface and flanks are Very variable in colour, typically yellowish brown, brown but may be olive green coloured and some individuals have a reddish or yellow appearance. Variably spotted or striped. The ventral surface of males is a dirty white or pale yellow, speckled with grey or brown. The ventral surface of females is a pale yellow to orange. The most consistent markings are the dark patch behind the eye and the strong barring on the hind limbs. Males are generally smaller than females. You may encounter the it from late February to early October. They often breed in garden ponds between February and March. Frogs are most likely to be seen during the breeding season, though sub adults may frequent garden ponds throughout the summer months. Adult frogs will range far from their breeding ponds and may be found almost anywhere at this time, from open fields to the more expected damp areas close to standing water. Hope you like :o) - Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my last upload, "Sunbathing" !! -- Many thanks, Jeroen
