Tiny young green tree frog, and I liked how the sun was hitting the water line. I came over to fill the bird bath and there he was, about 2 inches in total.
Thriving frog populations are an indicator of a healthy ecosystem, and having healthy green tree snakes, one of their main predator ensures the frog population is healthy too. It all goes around in very nice circles really.
Nice to see and a bit of a surprise to me. I would have thought that the dry weather last year and all the fires would have caused a serious decline in their population but, if so, they seem to be making a good comeback.
@gardencat we have had a lot of rain since the drought so have had frogs galore ever since. frogs burrow underground when conditions are bad and wait for conditions to improve then come back out and start breeding madly 🤗 they are quite amazing
love the sun burst
