User's notes

about 3 or 4, maybe 5, located by calls. Photos show 2 different individuals. The first 3 show one and the last one shows another. The first individual was in position of image 3, but when disturbed, flattened itself onto the bottom of the pond and was almost invisible until I moved some of the grass. It stayed in that position for a long time. When I checked on it before I left, it was gone

These guys are now out, meaning we have had a rare case of a long enough period of rain for these guys to come out of their burrows where they may spend years until conditions are suitable- So get your recording device, camera, and torch and go do a potentially rewarding mid-winter Frogwatch survey of your local pond now!
