I was planning to go to a new site with different types of frogs however my fellow uni students (buddies of mine who also like frogs) were busy so unfortunately couldn\u2019t come with me, so I headed back to Frog Hollow (I tried for another site in West Woombye but that\u2019s another story). So this time I was after some good close up shots of frogs using the 55-200mm DSLR camera lens. On arrival I was greeted to the calls of the usual frogs I\u2019ve seen\/heard there \u2013 Litoria peronii (Emerald-spotted treefrog), L. tylerii (Laughing treefrog), L. fallax (Eastern Sedgefrog), Limnodynastes peronii (Striped marshfrog) and Adelotus brevis (Tusked frog). Below are some of the photographs I took. And no, this time there were no mysterious \u2018plonk\u2019 sounds or ticks I\u2019ve found, nor has there been any of that wet stuff out of the sky since that brief shower last Friday. Things are getting drier and drier!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_peronii_floating_13.9.12.jpg\" alt=\"Litoria peronii\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" class=\"size-full wp-image-83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_peronii_floating_13.9.12.jpg 600w, https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_peronii_floating_13.9.12-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Litoria peronii (Emerald-spotted treefrog) floating on water.

It was a Limnodynastes peronii (Striped marshfrog) so I got a few snaps (not as though this species was uncommon or anything). I suddenly had to look unsuspicious as a car was approaching from in front of me before it turned off the dirt road. It waited at the property gate a while, probably looking back at what I was doing. Similarly, while I was mowing at my Grandparent\u2019s place yesterday, I was also \u2018interrupted\u2019 by a frog, Litoria fallax (Eastern Sedgefrog). What? \u2013 I can\u2019t help it!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_91\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-91\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/limno_peronii_13.9.12.jpg\" alt=\"Limnodynastes peronii\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" class=\"size-full wp-image-91\" srcset=\"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/limno_peronii_13.9.12.jpg 600w, https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/limno_peronii_13.9.12-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-91\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Limnodynastes peronii (Striped marshfrog)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Considering Thursday was forecast to reach 27\u00b0C, I planned to head out and do some frogging (no surprises there).
