Pond Life

If I'm not mistaken this shows a pair of Toads (the smaller one is the male) in a mating embrace.

Taken in the Southsea Rock Gardens. Not one of my finest efforts, but in my defence, I was balanced on one knee on the slippery edge of a pond, in the rain! I'm happy with it as a "record" shot.

Marginally better viewed large.

Well spotted and a terrific capture Keith, not the best weather for a tender moment ;-)

Compliments, you did well under the circumstances! I'd have trouble getting down on my knees and more getting up again;-)

Thanks Gudrun.

I try and avoid getting too low nowadays...........but I had little choice here. I should have taken my bean bag with me to rest the camera on.

Ein Foto bei vollem Körpereinsatz ;-)
Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen. Es zeigt die Kröten gut getarnt in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung.
