Swiss frogs (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

We seem to be doing well for the number (and apparent variety) of frogs here at the moment, but I haven't a clue what they are. Would anyone mind taking a peek and seeing what we've got?

They're either marsh frogs (Rana ridibunda (=Pelophylax ridibundus)), edible frogs (Rana esculenta (=Pelophylax esculentus)) or pool frogs (Rana (=Pelophylax) lessonae).

The three species are very closely related, very variable, and very difficult to tell apart. Pool frogs and edible frogs are native to Switzerland, marsh frogs have apparently been introduced relatively recently.

Hi Tony

I think the dragonfly is a Four-spotted Chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata)
I`d be sure if you had seen it in Hampshire !!
