Goodness what a rarity. Have you spotted any more since he/she has obviously been breeding.:eek:

 

he is beautiful.

 

We have one of thosein our pond, I rescued it from the dog only a couple of days ago.
I didn't realize it was albino.
I'll try and get a photo.
If it ever stops raining.

 

I've never seen one before. I wonder if I'll get one when I build my pond

 

I always thought that true albinos have pink eyes and anything else is just skin pigmentation. I,m no expert on the subject so not sure if albono or pigmentation?
But. if you check this other video of mine you will see a white (or albino ) squirrel.

Now that is strange.
I have never seen one of those :D
We had a black or very dark brown one in the spring but haven't seen that since.

 

That there white squirrel was filmed in Kent.

 

I was going to say the same about the 'albino' bit - I'm no expert though either! It is cool that you can see it year after year! We have quite a variation in colour of frogs in our pond - certainly in the breeding season, the females can be quite red, There are quite a few that are really quite pale too - not so many you'd really call green!

My parents had an 'albino' squirrel (I'm sure it did have pink eyes) visit their garden for years - I think these creatures are often picked off first by predators (obviously they are easier to see), so it is quite special to see them!

Look forward to hearing/seeing if he's back again in the spring!

 

Look after him robert most unusual they often secumb to predators before they mature,there is somewhere in wales were albino tadpoles were observed there is a possibility there is more than one in your neighbourhood as I would think a whole batch of spawn would be affected.

How does one look after frogs?
Apart from not changing the environment in my garden.
Even now I can sit out on those rare occasions and hear one croaking from the holes in the Yorkshire stone surround. During the spawning season it is total bedlum. Credit for the video goes to my dear wife. (her indoors) and a good job she did.

]for a start keep cats away from them, discourage herons from visiting,give them plenty of hiding places,you could sit out there all night and croon to it depends how far you want to go.:D

 

I will "see" your white frog, and raise it with this blue frog



Oh, and here is an Orange frog

 

Croonings out..
Cats out all night anyhow..
But, there is plenty of hiding for them..
