Dog Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 [IMG]http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz152/wynkindeworde/TreeFrog.jpg[/IMG]At midday it was sitting on the edge of a waterbut and then jumped onto the wall and is now sitting on the window pane so I can see its underside.This is the first I have seen in six years here in 24.A very beautiful elegant frog.

Dog Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Tonight the frog has pulled up his legs into a ball and is clinging to the window frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Très joli!We used to have one living under a facecloth on the corner of the bath - I think it was looking for moisture.Have you had dry weather recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 I hate to think where you buy limes - we have 24hr security for our creatures - just try and get near our house and land. Meat eaters are wimps as far as I and my family are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossy67 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 lol. Julie is a vegetarian ans I am almost there eating meet once every couple of weeks. Got to admit though, it does look kinda like a lime . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardian Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 There is a point to all this.Before we came down here, wildlife of all the creepy-crawly, flying (as in bats etc), slithering (as in snakes), etc, etc, was a complete anathema. I wasn't keen: OH would have run a mile.Now? Neither of us bats (sorry) an eyelid. "Oh, there's a frog in that flower pot". "There was a grass snake just heading for the bedroom, but I encouraged him the other way". Just two recent quotes from OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framboise Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 So thats what it is! I found one of these sitting on a very prickly thistle a couple of months ago - I thought it was some sort of a reject frog, a twist of nature or something!

nectarine Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'd been hearing an odd, vaguely electronic sound, in the garden for a while but couldn't trace it. In weeding some strawberry plants a bright green frog, exactly like your photo, jumped out and scuttled across to another part of the garden. Now that sound is coming from there.I've googled "Tree Frog Sounds" and got some audio, sounds exactly like my little critter. Never heard nor seen one before but glad to have one in the garden. And, my goodness, they are really BRIGHT green, a very intense green. Lovely to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
