Thank you Birddog, BBJ, Gecko & Rokksta. Can't really go wrong with a green frog huh? Glad you like him.

Keep singing that damn song....

Marvellous Rel.

Not only a sweet exposure but a great composition as well. The Litoria may be everywhere but shots like this are pretty rare. Just one more for those rather busy walls of yours!

Excellent image - colour, composition, and even the botanical name :shock:

Well done - there are frogs everywhere tonight.

That is a wonderful shot with excellent composition

You certainly have an amazing talent in your photogaphs of critters that always run away when I approach them. Kermit is a winner

Now that is one nice capture

Very well done.

There seriously needs to be a Photo Site set up for all involved in this forum.
Some of the images posted here are as good as any photo library and should be for sale commercially. my 2 bobs worth

Beautiful. Well caught

Wow ..... I liked the photo, but didn't expect such a great reaction. You've made my night

I highly recommend everyone goes out after the next storm and take shots of frogs. It is great fun

The easiest trick is (a) either follow the frog call, and track down the frog (can take a bit of time, and a slight knack, or (b) take out a torch, put it up to your shoulder so your eye is in line with the beam ( looking along the beam away from you) and look for eyeshine. You'll often pick up spiders (well, always) but you'll soon be able to tell the difference between insect eyeshine, and vertebrate eyeshine.

My challenge to you

That is one awesome photo there!

I liked your pobblebonk photo as well.

We used to have a pobblebonk iving around our fishpond but sadly, he or she seems to have moved on.

Is there a humane way and painless way of getting rid of canetoads apart from freezing them?

Keep the nature photos coming blacknstormy!

Cheers
