There was no night frost and with the morning rain the spring migration of frogs to their spawning areas started in North Estonia too.

Common frogs on their way to spawning.

Drivers, please reduce your speed where there are many frogs! The width of a migration "corridor“ is usually some twenty metres. Moor frogs (Rana arvalis), common frogs (Rana temporaria) and common toads (Bufo bufo) are moving to their spawning areas.

 

Common toad.

 

Fascinating to study their doings and a good opportunity to identify the species.
