As the name suggests, common frogs are widespread throughout the UK. They are usually found near garden ponds and lakes during spring time, and in gardens, meadows and woodland throughout the remainder of the year.

What should I do with a frog in my garden UK?

The first thing to is don’t touch it. British frogs aren’t poisonous but they do have sensitive skin, so you trying to catch it by hand will both stress it and your warm dry hands may damage it. Just step back quietly and calmy, maybe take a picture and then leave it be.

Where do frogs live in the winter UK?

In Britain, common frogs largely hibernate on land. They usually find somewhere underground, or tucked inside a structure that sits on the ground surface. Hence, frogs might overwinter in a mammal burrow, or inside a compost heap.
