It’s a hard life being a frog. Of around 2000 eggs laid by each female, only a few will reach adulthood. They were recently exposed as the culprits behind an unidentified jelly found in the countryside, previously attributed to meteors!
It turns out it’s just unfertilised egg plasma which they release when under-attack by herons, grass snakes, cats, crows, rats or foxes. Like I said, a hard life.
This one looks pretty chilled out though, with the primrose positioned almost like a fascinator; very elegant. Sue Kennedy of www.rspb-images.com caught this great shot.
