HUNDREDS of lovestruck frogs performed their version of the grate escape in 
Ipswich today.

The happy hoppers suddenly appeared from nowhere to invade the Ancaster Road 
area of town.

It's thought that recent building work had disturbed their usual breeding 
sites – and the amorous amphibians were desperate to find new sites to do what 
comes naturally!

"I've never seen anything like it in my life," said RSPCA inspector David 
Mitchell.

"They're coming out of drains. They're coming from everywhere.

"I have already taken about 300 to a new home and there are still hundreds 
more here. It's quite incredible."
