Ground-dwelling frogs would obviously have a bit of difficulty getting into that position! Stewart Thanks Neil,

If a frog did that here in the UK I'd be mighty impressed ;) :D lol Nice photos – I like the way you have descirbed the last photo as a ‘typical’ frog pose.

It's a species with considerable variation in colouration. Besides, if it wasn't <i>L. fallax</i>, Evan would have corrected me immediately! Stewart Hi Dennis,

It wasn't <i>L. gracilenta</i> either. There was a colony of this unknown species in a flooded area by a path. They were calling from thick vegetation, which made tracking down an individual impossible for us. Stewart Hi Evan,

I'd take a wild guess and go with <em>Litoria gracilenta</em>, just because it's very rare to hear but still a common species.

I've been trying to find a species list for the forest. When I get that I'll listen to the calls of those species and see if I can figure it out. I'll take my video camera next time so I can record some sound. Stewart Nope, I’m not that organised! I’ve been trying to find a species list for the forest.
