[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Common Frog, (Rana temporaria) also known as the European Common Frog or European Common Brown Frog is found throughout much of Europe as far north as the Arctic Circle and as far east as the Urals, except for most of Iberia, southern Italy, and the southern Balkans. There is debate regarding its status as a native of Ireland. One theory suggests it may have reached Ireland via a land bridge prior to the end of the last ice age. Another school of thought suggests it was deliberately introduced to Ireland.
The Common Frog can be distinguished from the Common toad by the skin which is smoother and is moist, the rear legs are longer and the feet more prominently webbed. Frogs move by hopping whereas toads more often crawl.

Hi Mircea,
Excellent night capture of this frog!
I like so much the clear details got on the skin and the sharpness of the image despite the low light available.
You did it pretty well with the fill flash.
My compliments and thanks for share it.

Fantastic details on this colorful frog, Mircea.
Actually the coloring is quite unusual for me.
I like the way you captured the texture of the skin.
TFS. : )

Un estupendo acercamiento a esta rana. Un colorido fabuloso y una nitidez genial.
