Frogs, toads & newts - photos

I played with my little digital camera (Xmas present) by the pond on the weekend, and found that its zoom function is so neat that more detail is visible on the photo than in reality!

My babies - there are hundreds of them, getting fatter every day. Toad tadpoles. You can even see their eyes in this shot!

Newt sunbathing. It's a newtist beach (ouch)

And a frog - especially for Alison!

What great pictures Anyanka... your water is lovely and clear. Are your tadpoles in a container?

Thankyou Anyanka I really loved seeing all the pics but especially the frog. I love newts though and hope that I still have one or two. I haven't seen any yet.

Thanks for the compliments. The tadpoles were on the edge of the pond. My dog has pushed some pebbles and soil off while drinking (whether its the flavour or the daphnia, she much prefers pond water over tap or filter jug water!) and it's just below the water level; that's pond liner underneath the tads.

Lovely pictures! Very envious that you have the toad taddies! Loads of toads, but little spawning so far.

wow what great pictures!
I am helping the neighbourhood kids build a small pond right now and we got some tadpoles from a friend. They are so excited, I really hope the survival rate is good, because I hope not to have a bunch of sad kiddies if they all died.
We've not got the pond going yet though. Have the plastic sheeting, but not plants or pebbles.

I can't see them either. Have you taken them off the web?

RE: Frogs, toads & newts - photos

Sorry guys - my website is currently down - the friend who looks after it has tried to redirect to another location, but as you can see it's not working. I'll try and put the pics back on later today when I get home!

RE: Frogs, toads & newts - photos

My website still exists in a different location, but the redirection isn't working - I imagine that these pics will stop working when the ones above come back. They're exactly the same anyway.
