Frog's porn

Caught in the slimy embrace of an over-excited and mightily confused frog, this plastic duck looks as though it's desperate to escape.

The frog's misguided sexual antics were photographed by Mike Coleman, 49, in his garden pond.

The father-of-two, of Hexham, Northumberland, said: “I just happened to look out to the garden pond and I saw the yellow duck bobbing about on the surface.



“I thought, 'Whatever is going on there?' I went to have a look and it was clear the frog had gone a bit barmy and was trying to mate with the duck. I managed to get a photo while it was still clamped onto the duck.”

Mr Coleman, a charity worker, keeps the toy duck in his 9ft by 6ft pond to make sure ice does not completely cover the surface in the winter.

“It's been in there for a few years so this has probably happened quite a lot without me ever noticing before,” he said.
