It was pouring with rain this morning and, thinking that this would be frog heaven, I set out with a big umbrella to see what they were up to. And what they were up to was about the second brick in the wall. I found quite a few clinging to the brickwork and one or two falling off into the leaves and chippings below.
I stayed out for an hour and took pictures and a few videos. I’ve just shared one video here because the quality was poor. Trying to get close enough quickly enough, while trying to wedge a large umbrella above me had a big effect on my ability to stay still and to focus the camera.
When I got back into the house, I Googled why do frogs climb walls when it’s raining? and I couldn’t find anything useful. So, if you know or have any ideas, please leave a comment. But it seems the rain has this effect. After the rain stopped, I went out again. Earlier I saw lots of froglets clinging and climbing and quite a few hopping out of my way in all sorts of places. This time… nothing. All quiet again. Hmm.
