Here what I took in photograph before the grass snake arrive :)

The Marsh Frog (Rana ridibunda) is the largest frog native to Europe, and belongs to the family of true frogs. It is very similar in appearance to the closely related Edible Frog and Pool Frog. These three species are often referred to as 'green frogs' to distinguish them from the other, more terrestrial, European Rana species, which are known as 'brown frogs' (best exemplified by the Common Frog Rana temporaria).

The Marsh Frog is a water-dwelling, generally green-colored frog species. It can reach a maximum length of 17 centimetres, but males remain smaller (around 12 cm). The head is proportionally large and the hind legs are long, which gives them excellent jumping abilities.
There is a large variation in colour and pattern, ranging from dark green to brown or grey, sometimes with some lighter green lines; a lighter line on the back is generally present. The Western European populations are generally dark green to black with dark spot on the back and sides and three clearly green lines on the back.

Hi Maxime,
Thank you for your kind words on my recent picture.
This is a wonderful capture of a Marsh Frog. The areas in focus are crisp, sharp and colourful.
Very well done and TFS.

Hi Maxime,
This is an excellent shot of the frog with its "waterwings" fully inflated :)
Nice sharp details with excellent color, exposure, and DOF.
I read your profile, and I favor the insects also. Hope the new pond in my yard will help attract more..
Well done & have a great week!

Hello Maxime,
You've captured the blown vocal sacs of this male Rana expertly just in time. A good, sharp tele-macro shot in fine focus and high detail in natural surroundings. TFS my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet
