Posted: 17 Sep 2003 Topic: attacks on frogs



This morning I found three adult frogs dead on the lawn (in different areas) near to our larger pond. They appear to have been killed by a blow to the head with a single puncture wound visible on two of them. There has been no attempt to eat the frogs. There have been similar attacks throughout the summer but involving single as opposed to multiple victims. Earlier in the year I have seen our blackbirds attacking this years juvenile frogs. Can anyone shed any light on this and suggest the likely culprit and anything we can to do to prevent a recurrence of this behaviour?
