THIS is the amazing picture of a tiny frog when it hopped on top of a 5p coin.

Alison Meredith was gobsmacked when the little frog jumped onto the coin after she put it down beside it for scale.

The 57-year-old, from Sauchie, Clackmannanshire, said she saw thousands of the amphibians in her garden and was trying her best not the stand on them.

She said: "There were quite a lot of them in the garden. I thought it was an insect, then I realised it was a wee frog.

"I saw a lot of runners coming down the road and stopped them from being squashed.

"My husband put the 5p down to show the scale the frog just leaped onto it."

Alison, an educational support worker, posted the picture online and was overwhelmed by the response to the tiny frog.

She said: "I couldn’t believe the reaction I got on Facebook.

"To tell you the truth I felt a bit terrible because I was trying my best not to stand on them.

"There was a sea of them, there must’ve been thousands of them.

"I’m not sure what’s bringing them out, I’m guessing it might be the hot weather we’ve had recently."
