Just to include a little bit of variance between all those mushrooms that are surely still to come, here's a tiny amphibian that I found in a muddy pond. It was pretty fearless and I was able to get this neat portrait of the frog.
Lots of tiny common #froglets emerging from the #ponds at #WWTCastleEspie. These were no larger than 1cm.

More spring sightings: Have had Wood Frogs (Rana sylvatica) and Spring Peepers (Hyla crucifer) calling in the last few days from wet areas in the surrounding #forest.
But the Wikipedia tells me that Spring Peepers are now Pseudacris crucifer and Wood Frogs are Lithobates sylvaticus. I cannot keep up with all of this scientific name changing. I shall now just call them all "frogs."
