Gollum?

Is this just a very old frog, is it a rare species, or is it an escapee from a "The Lord of the Rings" film set?  It was found climbing a steep, heather-covered slope some distance from the banks of one of the Twin Lochans.

    Poor thing.
    Suspect it is common frog.
    Which can vary in colour including black.

    Hi Sheila - Many thanks, I'm sure you're right that it's a rather emaciated, black common frog.

    The website you've given as a link is well worth a visit - such a good layout!
