Apparently it only takes 10 seconds for a female frog to lay a clump of eggs and there can be up to 2000 eggs in each clump. The NPWS are running a frog survey at the moment so get out there and start recording. http://www.npws.ie/en/CurrentResearchProjects/AnimalSpecies/Other/ .The info you submit adds vital data to build up a picture of the distrubtion of frogs in Ireland. About 1 third of amphibians across the globe are in danger of extiction. Numbers in Britain have dramatically declined also in the last 20 years. A chytrid fungus appears to be the main cause, but habitat destruction and water quality play a vital role in the little frogs demise.
