Mika it looks like the Common Treefrog Hyla aborea.

Welcome! Benedict! There are lots of really fun threads and friendly people on this website. Thumbs up

Another couple of frogs - one in a circular pond in a garden we visited last week:

and a pair of really, really tiny frogs that I found in the koi pond filter (in the south of France):

Thumb of 2016-06-03/cliftoncat/4dc58c

The tiny ones could easily have fitted on a one euro coin. I thought about getting a coin from the house to give a perspective in the photo, but they seemed to be about to engage in some froggy nooky (!) and I decided I should respect their privacy Hilarious! Hilarious!

I know nothing about frogs and toads, except that I think they are cute, so can't really add anything!

Great shots, Mika. Hope you aren't getting washed into the sea by all that rain? Great weather for frogs, indeed.

I pulled a toad just like that out of the pool this morning. I have never seen one. When you look down on them, it looks like they have a tail shaped marking. I was so glad to see it wasnt a cuban. I did have to turn on the filter, the cubans lay eggs in there at night. LOTS of eggs.
