Nice catch! You always know you have a healthy garden with these little guys around. :)

As you said, they are Littoria fallax, though it's more commonly called the Eastern Sedgefrog around Brisbane. Lots of different names for them I think. They vary in colour a lot, but the give away is the dark stripe from nostril through the eye, and white stripe from below eye to shoulder.

[Mary Anne]

Thank you so much for that Info.

I am surprised at the variation in colours of all the frogs in our Garden

Took me weeks of searching to find this was indeed a Green Tree Frog and a large one too.
It stayed around for a while I named it sleepy as I often seen it asleep in the garden.
Not that morning though it was up there greeting the Sun though quickly went down
When it seen me coming with the Camera..

[Lani]

I love frogs, so thanks for sharing these....they are so cute! The frog in the jug is my favourite.

[coolie21]

Great shots! Anyone want any pics of Cane toads ??!!

[rogklee]

[Nanny]

Love frogs I too like the one in the jug so cute.

[AMD72]

Great shots Mary Anne. The two frogs getting friendly with a cuddle is super. Thanks for posting :th3:

[Mary Anne]

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments.
I see you all have a favourite and I cannot blame you
They are delightful little creatures.

[Miaow]

Great shots :) Be great to have them out in the garden :)

[Helen S]

These are gorgeous Mary Anne, so tiny and delicate and much different from the Barking Frogs we have here at home.

Frogs amaze me. There's not a watercourse for miles around here, yet somehow these frogs have found their way to our place with its teeny weeny pond. :)

[Mary Anne]

Thank you Cat and yes it is.

And Helen Thanks also. Yes they are so tiny and delicate so much so that I have to keep a sharp lookout when I prune anything as I almost cut one of the green ones in half once I just managed to see its eye at the last minute.. Since we added a Horse Bowl as I call it, it holds 60 litres of water and has a couple of pots of waterlilies in it we have had many more in the garden too.

[Shane.R]

Thanks for showing, they are little darlings. I love frogs :)

[Wulfys Kingdom]

They are beautiful little amphibians. Wonderful photos too, very nice and clear and colourful :) Thank you for sharing! Your garden must sounds beautiful when it rains lol.

[balwoges]

The frog in the jug does it for me :th3:

[Mary Anne]

Thank Shane, WK and Trish I appreciate your comments..

[nikonover]

Love the frog series,your in the right place for gardens and marsupials.

[Mary Anne]

Thanks Mal we do get the odd critter here.. Last week it was a taipan and a green tree snake.
After looking at the News tonight they say that Spiders are our next worry.
I prefer the snakes at least I can see them :D

[DAdeGroot]

Oh wow! They are indeed tiny. So cute too.

And I thought the little frogs that live in the filter on our water tanks were small, but they're positively huge compared to these.

[melmo78]

love the first and the last, great captures

[Mary Anne]

Thanks Dave they are indeed very small, cropped they don't look it do they..

Those two are favourites with me also Malmo.. Thanks for that.

[castaway]

Very nice Mary Anne, good composition and I really like the frog in the jug. They are fascinating little things. :th3:

[Skullobsessed]

These photos are beautifully done Mary Anne. Photo #3 is absolutely adorable. It reminds me of the princess and the frog :D those lil guys are wrapped up only in each other. Just beautiful.

[Mary Anne]

Thanks Everyone for your delightful comments..

[Kevin M]

My Daughter loved the shots.....

[Mary Anne]

Thanks for that Kevin.. I am glad your daughter loved them
The frogs are a great addition to our garden, I have heard plenty lately.

[Jeanette]

wow the photos are just delightful and the frogs are so good to see around .. where i live i get a banjo frogs now and then ( noisey as ) but adorable..

[Mary Anne]

Hi Jeanette and Thanks.. Frogs are one thing we are not short of in our garden..
And yes they can get very noisy as times but its a delightful sound as it's usually when its raining.

[GlennSan]

I was searching for Litoria fallax Mary Anne and this is one of the threads I found. It's a bit late but I wanted to say I love these pics and I think you've executed them very well.

The eyes on the "jug frog" are amazing!

[Mary Anne]

Thank You So much that's Sleepy.. You know I have not seen Old Sleepy around for a while.
Though I have seen a normal large green frog in that jug recently..

[Kevin M]

Thanks for that Kevin.. I am glad your daughter loved them
The frogs are a great addition to our garden, I have heard plenty lately.

now we have toads invading us from the north hopefully they (the frogs) wont be "run out of town".

[Mary Anne]

Kevin we have heaps of those nasty toads here also
We often do the rounds on Wednesdays nights as the bin gets empty Thursday morning :D
I reckon those little frogs know how to look after themselves as they seem to go high
Where the toads never seem to get far off the ground

[kathfern]

Photo # 3 is very sweet! Best mates!

[Mary Anne]

Thanks Kathy.. I reckon you would be right..

[Showipix]

Fantastic photos mate - we have heaps of frogs here as they keep us awake at night - just have to flush them into view to take their picture during the day! And its steadily getting colder so not much hope of that!

Cheers
Kellie

[Philr]

Awesome captures Mary Anne. Tiny frogs indeed. :th3:

[Mary Anne]

Hi Kellie and Thanks..Oh Yes I know what you mean about the noise.
And with the night temps getting down to 10° and below now it may be a while before we see the frogs again

[Mary Anne]

Thanks so much Phil, yes they certainly are tiny..

[mikew09]

Like the shots Mary Anne. We have dozens of green tree frogs around the house and many more in the inground tank. I have also seen quite a few of these little green blogs too and always thought they where just baby green tree frogs. Very interesting. I will get around to getting some light into the water tank one day a get a shot of them all enjoying life.

Conseqently, we have a two stage filter on the water line :-).

[Mary Anne]

I can understand you thinking those very tiny green frogs were baby green tree frogs Mike.
I love the way the green tree frogs appear on the tanks leaf filter when the water starts pouring into it from the downpipes.

[Flora]

How cute! The one in the hands just show how tiny they are, but the one in the jug i think is my favourite.

[Mary Anne]

They certainly are tiny and Thank You..
Lots of Members like that one of Sleepy in the jug also.
