After the destruction of a number of ponds in my local area Wirral in the Northwest of England due to commercial development, I decided to build a pond in my garden and populate it with Frog spawn that I collected from the doomed ponds.

 

The exercise was a success and I added to the gene pool when a local garden centre offered Frogs spawn free to good home. After a number of years I have a large and thriving Frog community.

 

I have taken a number of photographs of the Frogs ‘Common Frog - Rana temporaria’ and they have been the main prompt for me to build this site. The photographs are displayed on these Web Pages, along with some information that I have gathered.

Identifying Frogs

At the present time all the images you can find on Frogs-Watch.co.uk are of the Common Frog as this is the species that is present in the Frogs-Watch.co.uk ponds. A large part of e-mails we receive are about identifying Frogs so we have written this brief guild to help.

Some helpful features which can be helpful in identified frogs are the paratoid gland, the dark area behind the eye, the vocal sac which can be below or at the side of the mouth, the ear drum, dorsal folds, Webbing and pads on the feet and hands and the length of the legs.
