With Bubble Gum...!
Taken during the summer this male Rana ridibunda/esculenta hybrid is doing so very well on the island of Mallorca and as a result is providing lots of prey opportunities for my target species which was Natrix maura (European viperine snakes)...

Super image, fascinating to see a hybrid, is this limited to the Island?

Great setting, and of course a classic pose.

Nice one Brett, it's good to see a different species, and was obviously worth the trip.

Hope to catch you up soon!
