Common frog resting on the large tree fungus.
Forest frog, or common frog
-rana temporaria
Very variable in colour, typically yellowish brown, brown but may be olive green coloured and some individuals have a reddish or yellow appearance. Variably spotted or striped.
Emerging from hibernation in late February spawning usually takes place in early March. Though occasionally the frogs will emerge sooner and spawn as early as January.
The females are ready to spawn immediately after hibernation and the animals enter into amplexus very soon after arriving at their breeding ponds.
The spawn is laid in clumps and typically consists of 300 - 400 gelatinous eggs containing black embryos with a white spot. |
