Now that the Marsh Frogs are going full tilt out on the reserve it is not really surprising that they are getting picked off by a variety of predators.
There they sit busily belching out the froggy mating blues when, whoosh, they are airborne and winging their way to a nearby nest to fed to hungry avian offspring...
If you have seen anything eating our Marsh Frogs can you please email Lucia at luciasmailuk@yahoo.co.uk as she is conducting a study into just that! She would be grateful of any 'being eaten' images like the ones below too.
