afternoon in the garden

[sarah_m]

A few weekends ago we finally had a warm day in Melbourne, so we thought we would do some much needed gardening.
Found this little guy (or girl?) in one of our garden beds.
It was about 4cm long and i think it is a spotted marsh frog (correct me if i am wrong).
Took a picture of him before we released him into wet land area behind our house (couldnt put him back in the garden as we were about to lay weed mat down)

Since it was such a warm day we took the opportunity to take Tjapakai outside for the first time to explore. He wasn't too keen on the grass at first but i think he enjoyed the change anyway.

Looks correct the length is right, some of the pics i have are very varied in spots and colour so its always hard to be 100%.

100% Spotted Marsh frog, I get them around my house as well.
With the wetlands close to you, in a few months they will find a way under the weed mat and you will get heaps under there and in your new garden.
If you add a small pond and some dence ground cover plants you will get a little wild colony going.

Ive said it before but you BHP is a cracker.
Although I havnt seen a BHP I didnt like .

Hi all,

That is NOT a SPOTTED MARSH FROG Limnodynastes tasmanensis it is a Banjo or Pobblebonk, Limnodynastes dumerilli insularis.

Cheers,
