Those Responsible

Yesterday I posted some pictures of the frog spawn in our pond. When I took those pictures there was a distinct lack of any frogs on view. That’s a little bit unusual for our frogs as they’re normally up for having their pictures taken.

As you can see that changed today. As I headed up to the greenhouse I spotted this little chap or chappess sitting by some frog spawn.

I moved round the pond to get a better view expecting to hear that sploshing sound of a frog heading for cover. It didn't and I thought he or she had the rather smug look of a job well done.

Later as I passed the pond the frogs were underwater. I don’t think I wish to know what was going on down there. Please excuse the rather blurry picture as the water is around 24 inches deep at this point. I had no intention of snorkelling to get a better picture. 

Can you count how many frogs there are in this melee?
