Amphibians of Spain, Urban wildlife of Barcelona

This lovely tree frog (Ranita meridional in Spanish) I spotted on Montjuïc, Barcelona. Orwell perhaps saw them on the Aragon front in 1937: “Round the drinking-pool that served for the village mules I found exquisite green frogs the size of a penny, so brilliant that the young grass looked dull beside them”

Cute Mediterranean tree frog (ranita meridional in Spanish, reineta in Catalan) on Montjuic. Captured by Barcelona’s amphibian monitoring programme run by Galanthusnatura. I love urban wildlife.
