A parkrun has been cancelled for a second week in a row due to frogs migrating across the course.
Kirkharle Courtyard parkrun, in Northumberland, started last October and event co-director Nick Winslow said they knew the frogs might be an issue in the summer as they migrate every year.
"Normally what happens is the frogs arrive they cross the path they clear off and it's all over in like maybe a week," Winslow said.
However, he said this year the heat was making the whole process take longer as the frogs had slowed down.
"This would have been our 28th event so one of the issues for us is every week we're still kind of learning," Winslow said.
