Just had to share this with members of the NG - our pond was only
finished at the end of September, and while clearing leaves today I
was delighted to discover (and replace) a huge frog! Don't know
what
breed, but it was unusually browny-red on top - perfectly
camouflaged
by the oak leaves. ( Will try to google for it.)

Made my day.

A 'huge' common frog will almost certainly be a mature female.
....... Perhaps you would care to confirm that with a microscopic
examination of its genitalia? ;-)

I'll get my torch....
