A Frog On The Footpath

I almost trod on this frog as I was walking home on February 27th, as it crossed the footpath in front of me. After I'd taken some footage and put my camera away, I notice it had hopped into the road and looked likely to meet a grisly fate under the wheels of a passing car, so I picked it up and carried it to the other side. It thereupon tried to climb a vertical concrete wall, before giving up on that and sitting bewildered for a while in the middle of the pavement, where it was almost squashed by several passers-by. I picked it up again, and found an area of long grass and undergrowth, where I put it down, hoping it was a safe haven from the traffic.
Filmed with the infrared setting on my Panasonic HC-W850 camcorder.

  1. My husband saw one hopping on to the pavement the other night. He went back to check it was off the road, and it had gone. Great infra-red footage!
