I\u2019ve finally had a chance in-amongst all my uni assignments to post several photos I\u2019ve taken since my last post entry, so here they are\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Litoria
Litoria fallax<\/i> (Eastern sedgefrog). Was going to promise my-self this would be the last of this species I\u2019d post for a while\u2026but you\u2019ll see further on that I broke my promise to my-self.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019d been over at the Grandparents place in Palmwoods when I thought I heard my mobile phone play a text-alert sound, which I\u2019ve set to be the call of the Emerald-spotted treefrog (my ring tone is the call of the Laughing treefrog \ud83d\ude00 ). Anyway, turns out they were actual Litoria peronii<\/i> (Emerald-spotted treefrogs) calling from the Palmwoods duck pond just down the road. On my way back home I stopped at the duck pond to see if I could find any. Indeed I did. There were plenty of calls from both this species and L. fallax<\/i>.<\/p>\n

A few days later during the warm weather we had, I decided to snoop around my university campus and see what I could find or hear. There were plenty of calling L. fallax<\/i> and in the distance I could hear the calls of L. nasuta<\/i> (Striped rocket frog) (this species is the one I\u2019ve set to call as my alarm and wake me up on certain mornings \ud83d\ude1b ). There were many of these guys around wet ditches despite not having rained.<\/p>\n

\"Litoria
Litoria nasuta<\/i> (Striped rocket frog). These are the guys that are very hard to photograph without them jumping away all the time. However, most of them allowed me to get several photos \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019m beginning to think there\u2019s something about these frogs and encounters with security guards as happened again that night.<\/p>\n

Then just a couple of nights ago I heard, for the first time, a L. fallax calling from the reeds in our front-yard pond \u2013 hey, I was excited! Usually I can hear them calling from everywhere else around the neighbourhood but the pond. So, I had to take a few shots whilst at the same time fiddling with the camera to get the best photographs I could manage.<\/p>\n

Well, that concludes this catch-up post. We\u2019ve had a few mills of rain recently and I\u2019m looking forward to what\u2019s forecast this Summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
