The flycatcher troop


At some of my mini ponds, where I often sojourn to watch and photograph the frogs' life, the smaller pond frogs (rana perezi) appear very confiding. Do they spot in midsummer some flies on my hand or on my arm, nothing can stop them, they just jump onto the offered hand. This behavior is really only there to be seen, where the frogs seem to know me very well and don´t classify myself as a dangerous animal. Because on the other mini ponds where I don´t go too often, the frogs immediately jump away, when I show up or they only recognize my shadow.

Do the flies pester you? Don´t worry, here comes the flycatcher troop.
