The Eyes Have It.

The pictures posted recently by Chris, Andy and Brian of frogs in the Forest of Dean, the promise of at least some sun, and freedom from needing to be in mobile phone contact saw me head off to Nagshead, full of hope that a) there would be frogs there, and b) by this time they would be well into spawning mode.
Happily the answer to both was yes. The ponds sounded like the motocross circuit at Marshfield as hundreds croaked away, and the problem was how to get a clear shot of the little blighters in amongst the crowds.
Then again how do you snap a frog? There are the orgy shots .....
the floating on the top shots .....
the courting couple shots ....
the eye shots ....
the 'Satchmo' cheek pouch mid-croak shots ....
or the portrait shots.
Sorry about the numbers. I took way, way too many (this is less than 3%), and jiggered my back again especially for the more eye level shots. It had only just settled down from the previous weekends gardening!
In the end these are my two favourites (for now at least), and both feature the eyes.
I really like the Peeping Tom shot. All these are shown in much better quality HERE - just click the link and look in the 'Latest Pictures' album.
