Description:

I can't help, to me these snouts are short and rounded (rather than tapered). So, R. temporaria. Also the calls are different from those of R. arvensis in that there are no singular calls but just a continuous growling. Despite the large number of frogs, the sound is so low that you must be close to the pool (within 10 m) to hear it. At first I took it for the sound of the wind in the high trees. The last pic shows frog spawn in a (last year) newly excavated hole on the other side of the carriage way, the construction of which many years ago may have caused the formation of the small pool with the frogs. I've heard on Youtube that the frogs should loose their wariness when spawning is in full swing. Maybe the low temperatures (below 10°C) that we have since Mach 18 have precluded that until now.
