On my last visit to RSPB Elmley (on May 5) the place was alive with them. You could hardly hear yourself think over the noise they made!
I got these photos, including one in mid-song with the pouches inflated...      
No green line down the back so these may be pure marsh frogs.

I think all the water frogs can have the green stripe thou
Ive put a video of the ones at rainham calling and fighting on WAB somewhere
