Morning Visitor

I was having my porridge this morning at about 7.15 am (the exif time on the image is wrong). As I looked out of the window I saw this visitor on our patio.

I ate my porridge and went outside to take the photo.

I don't know whether it is a Frog to Toad , but it let me take a half decent photo

After the photo I took it to a bush near the pond , so it didn't get the attention of a little whippet and grandchildren !!
I think it's a Common Frog, but I can't be definitive either! What a super close up. My mother always used to collect frogs from the roadway, especially during rainfall when they all came out, and put them by our pond!

@casablanca thanks Casa' I did a google and I think you are right , I don't know if the legs and feet seem a bit swollen , but then again I'm not a frog expert !

LOL! A perfect pose for you! Looks like it's sitting up to say hello.

Super image, He looks like he knows he is supposed to be there, but why are you?

Beautiful capture of your visitor. I’m sure much better off at the pond.

My first thought was....she is not as pretty as your previous models...lol
March 8th, 2025  
I think she’s about to pop!

Terrific close up

Never seen a frog like that. He’s sort of translucent….full of frog spawn perhaps. I like it.
March 8th, 2025  
He’s magnificent, looked a bit like a statue

wonderful, clear shot ... its feet are amazing
