Traffic halts for frogs
July, 5
The traffic was brought to a stand still yesterday, not because of any procession or due to security reasons, but to allow thousands of tiny frogs and toads to leave the loch. It was a spectacular sight watching those tiny toads and frogs, some even size of the tip of a little finger making their way to Arthur’s Seat.
People were amazed to see this sight with frogs and toads crossing the streets one after another. Experts have said that this year the hatching was a bit earlier compared to previous year, mainly due to the warmer weather. The tiny toads were jumping around like a happy bunch eager to adapt to the habitat.
To make sure these tiny toads don’t get into the drains they were covered to stop them falling into it.
