One from a couple of years ago when the frogs in a mates pond displayed some very different colours. It didn’t seem to bother the frogs they still got on with the business in hand.

This is a bit special Bob! Lovely reflections and unusual (to me) colours, good b/g colour too. Love the pov too, nice one.

Not usual that they stand as a model for you.
Well seen and captured.

That's great - how unusual!

Lovely poses and reflections. I thought that any frogs showing red on them had a disease of some sort?
Oh, no, I've just read on the FrogLife site that female common frogs often develop a red colour during the breeding season....oh and that the disease that turns them red is ranavirus, or red-leg, which is apparently misleading as they don't always go red, and some frogs are naturally red....phew....... I'll sush now....
