Rel's fantastic frog calling photographs got me out last night to photograph the Peron's tree frogs, Litoria peronii, around the tadpool. After fighting the mozzies, I managed to get a few shots that weren't too bad - although the backgrounds are crap.

The first frogs I saw were in amplexus:

The second had been calling, but I couldn't keep still because of the mozzies, so I didn't get him with his throat fully inflated.

Later, it appear that another male was serenading the female who already had a mate.

The third shot cracked me up - just look at the eyes of the male frog who was 'successful' - the eyes of pure bliss, and the female, big wide pupils checking out her next suiter !! ;) LOL

Great shots Andrew - beautiful colour in the thigh of the first male - lucky you having them in amplexus in your own front yard - I have to go looking for them !!! :)

More please ?? :)
