Got a snapshot of this guy (or girl) last month going for a climb in a Zelkova, there are lots of these little creatures in my bonsai area, I spot them all the time when I pick up a tree and I get an approving chorus whenever I water. It's nice to be appreciated.

I hope the little one is playing his part in pest control :D

Great shot of a welcome visitor. I used to have several living on my benches but haven't seen them this year. I miss them!

Regards,
Steven

Frogs are a sign of a healthy environment so well done. When I was a lad our garden in the Adelaide Hills was always full of them, and the noise at night was brilliant.

When the kiddies are a bit older I'd like to build a pond and see if I can entice some back.

As a bonus, they are something for the Tiger Snakes to play with too, which leaves my ankles free to enjoy life :lol:

Cheers,
