Very nice to see!

In my part of Germany you can find a lot of Bufo bufo, just some weeks ago there were hundreds on their way to their breeding ponds.
Unfortunately I haven't found any tree frogs so far, I guess that is because of the rather dry mono-culture woods (pine trees).

Hyla arborea is such a lovely little frog. I wish they were found in the UK and Ireland! Thanks for sharing, Ralf.

In my shed, a few dozen B. bufo are hibernating now. Years ago I had a little pond, where they bred. The pond is long gone, but the toads are still here, and there are comming more and more. Now they breed in a larger natural pond, a few meters away.
