My natural pond in Belgium

[callingcolleen1]

What a very nice natural pond, looking at the beautiful pictures of happy frogs make me feel calm and relaxed ,and that is good, cause that is what a pond should do!

A few days ago there was nothing in my pond. Now i have counted more than 20 frogs mating.

The strange noise you can hear is the sound of the males.

That is a very beautiful pond Francois. Do you have any tips on attracting frogs to your pond?

 

[Francois43]

Yes, no fish ( they eat nearly every eggs and tadpoles), lot of places to hide in and around the pond. Let a part of the garden wild, avoid any chimical product in the garden ( frogs are very sensible to any of these products), ans a litle bit of luck.

You can see in this picture that every frog is different. There is even an orange one.

We don't use chemicals but do have fish, at least for now. Also we seem to have lots of snakes which I assume would eat any travelling frogs. I *love* listening to frogs. And crickets! Your frogs are really big. I usually only see smaller ones.

At our house, as we were building the ponds, the frogs moved in.

Beautiful!
I wonder if Belgian frogs speak in a different language from ours. American frogs say "ribbit!". What do Belgian frogs say?

 

[j.w]

They say "I want French Flies and a Diet Croak"
