SUMMARY
This species is widespread in mainland Britain and, although locally common in the islands, it is an introduced species. Frog spawn was bought to the islands in the 1970s and tadpoles and young frogs were later released.
We are interested in mapping the distribution of frogs and all records of frog spawn, tadpoles or eggs are welcome.
