Frogs

Collected another 40+ toads again tonight - gave up when it started to rain and there was still lots more around to be caught and despatched another time.

Saw 4 frog species as well  -apart from a Pobblebonk seen again tonight,
these three were also observed and photographed:

Green tree frog Litoria caerula


Spotted Marsh frog : Limnodynastes tasmaniensis



Dainty tree frog : Litoria gracilenta


The ID of the last two are via this web site and I hope they are correct:

Rain - 85mm yesterday,   30+ so far today -  the ground is very sodden with surface water everywhere. - no wonder it is frog central at present. I am quite pleased to have lots of frogs around on our property.

Great photo's, thanks for sharing. I love it when we see a frog out the back. Yes...lots of rain, our park now looks like a lake. :-)
