cuisses-de-grenouille-sil-vous-plait
In other words...."Frog-legs anyone..??"... :wink: :biggrin:

Went back to the Bittern site today to get some more shots of the Bitterns that are now patroling the edges of their habitat as food is scarce due to frost and snow.
Got lucky as one of them was able to get a huge Frog from underneath the ice!

For more from today's session, see the blog: http://jeroenstel.blogspot.com/

That's one female frog that won't be spawning this spring then. Another excellent shot in a great series.
