Autumn Sunshine

This petite beauty was found shading itself from the midday sun today. It is the Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog, Litoria fallax. The leaf of the Pandora pandorana cv. "Ruby Belle" was found to be the perfect sunshade. It also shows how small this little amphibian is. 

Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog, Litoria fallax

Common in the Highfields district, you'll often hear it calling from rank vegetation. At Peacehaven listen out beside the wildlife area near the Old Dairy. One field guide describes its call as a 'ratchet-like "Reek...pip. Reek---pip...pip".'
