Wow this app looks cool. I will download it today.
I recently found a frog on the front door of our apartment block in North Ryde adjacent to Lane Cove River/National Park.
I was intrigued as to what type of frog it was, so I took some photos of it, and googled frog images as I sat and looked at it.
The closest match I could come up with was a “Littlejohns Tree Frog”. It occurred to me that if the frog was indeed a Littlejohns Tree Frog, then this may be of some significance – as the frog is listed as vulnerable, and has not been recorded as being found in the Lane Cove area? The web page I referred to is this one: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/determinations/LittlejohnsTreeFrogVulSpListing.htm
I have many photos of it, some attached. At the time, the site I used for identification is below: http://frogs.org.au/frogs/species/Litoria/littlejohni/
The markings and texture of the skin were very similar, and I noted that the frogs colouration changed over time – it became more pale.
But now, I think it may be Verreaux's Tree Frog. I'm a newbie to frogs so I could be way off.
Once I had taken photos of the frog, I picked it up and moved it into the bush, on a tree.
Cheers, Jon
