The action took place during a pond-dipping trip by pupils at The Epiphany School, Bournemouth, Dorset.
The dramatic moment was caught on camera by Kate Fry, administrator at The Epiphany School, Bournemouth, Dorset, during the year five trip to the nearby Kingfisher Barn Visitor Centre in the Stour Valley Nature Reserve, on May 10.
Kate Fry, administrator at The Epiphany School, Bournemouth, Dorset, captured the moment when the grass snake caught the frog Ms Fry described the group’s surprise at seeing the grass snake in action before the frog was able to free itself and escape.“After several minutes the lucky frog managed to escape.“It was a fantastic and quite unexpected experience seeing a predator capture his prey – but it proved too much for him.”
Headteacher Vanessa Webster said: “Kingfisher Barn is a lovely local resource on our doorstep which we fully take advantage of as it’s less than a five-minute walk. “The year five children were studying rivers and their local habitats. William was particularly thrilled by his pond dipping find – a ghost phantom midge.”Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
