A Frogging We Will Go!

[Ross the fiddler]

These Australian frogs were found at home swimming around & interacting with each other. There was some concern they might eat the fish in the pond, but not yet. They are known as the Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peroni). Their body length was approximately 70mm.

Thanks for looking.

Nice shots the only problem I have with the Frogs which visit my pond is that they sometimes mistake the slower moving fish for a mate!!

They are gorgeous Ross! And so fat! . Life must be good in your ponds!
My ponds are full of tadpoles at the moment, so frogs soon.
Unfortunately the Magpies know this too and are waiting!

Ross - #1 is an exceptional shot and the second not far behind it, while the third looks a tad over flashed to me (bounceback).

Thanks Ed. I was a bit worried they'ed take a bite of the fish as they are known to eat smaller frogs.

Thanks Lyn. They are rather full in the belly, aren't they?

Thanks Mark. I agree on the third one (that was) & I've replaced it with an edited version. We went the next night (early evening) looking for them & they haven't appeared again, so that appeared to be my only chance to catch a photo of these little (not so little) beauties.

Thanks All.
