Near my house there is an introduced population of Tree frog (Hyla arborea) in the dunes, the population was first observed in 2005/2006 and seems to be thriving here. They have even expanded their former range eventough they don't occur in the dunes naturally. Anyhow, yesterday I went with my girlfriend to the area and we could easily observe some groups of fallow deer, lots of birds, grass frog, edible frog, tree frog, common toad, natterjack and sand lizards.



Find all four

That's quite high, having in mind your hight! All the tree frogs I've ever found were on the ground!

Bobby,

Great pictures.. loved the head on shot ... Great to see natterjacks as well.. it may be common were you are but its the UKs rarest non alien amphibian.

Kind regards

Paul

Sometimes it feels like that with all those introduced populations, I'm thinking of introducing Orangutans and giant pangolins to the dunes as well.

Dutch based dune giant pangolins.... that would be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool

Great Bobby!! love the natterjack!
