Aren’t they wonderful creatures? I know they are common enough but I still like them, especially the large eardrum. I spotted this one while walking around the fabulous Jardin Botanique de Montreal (Montreal Botanic Garden) in Canada.

Great shots Jessica, and a very regal looking frog! You might have tried kissing him just in case.
This is a handsome male frog that you have found. (Male frogs have ears that are larger than their eyes; females have ears that are the same size as their eyes or smaller.)
I think they are possibly a bit rarer here than over there…having said that other people see them more!and I have seen frogspawn about and I have been told I will see a lot of them if I go to my local bog at night time..I guess ‘the lads’ may be avoiding me 🙂 🙂
Thank you. I am afraid I do not know anything about the sound frequencies that these frogs can hear but I am sure the information is out there on the internet.
I had wondered if frogs were like the snakes in Ireland but I guess they are just avoiding you for the moment because they have other things on their minds.

Lovely clear pictures Jessica, and I love the composition of the third one – which would make a lovely print.

Thank you, Clare. Are frogs rare in Ireland or do you and the lads (frogs) hang out in very different places?

Thank you, Allison. Frogs always seem such charming creatures even when they are not Prince Charming in disguise.
