These guys are gaurding the frogspawn in Merkland wood. In March they appear in their thousands to breed, the whole wood is filled with the sound of the males calling and every bit of water getts filled with frogspawn. Shortly after they all vanish and the young are left to hatch. They are a great subject to watch, full of character and you can get very close to observe and take photos. They tend to watch you back with a fair bit of interest and you get the occasional one hoping on to you in curiosity.
