regular tuesday trrip

[Fuscus]

Did my regular trip across the Colondales last night. Unusually I had a guest last night who may post later. Anyhow not much to see, just a calm BTS and a uncalm(?) spider and a few frogs.
And I'm currently waiting for Aust Zoo to pick up a galah with a broken wing we rescued.

How was the weather out there Fuscus? Very windy? Or is it a bit sheltered from the coast?

Edit* Don't worry just checked on BoM, I think I'll go for a cruise tonight. The cloud cover is keeping the night temps up and blocking out the full moon (hopefully, just remembered the moon now)

2nd frog is some sort of mixophyes sp. thanks.

Moreliac,

Your first frog is a Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peroni) - they are very common along the east coast and have a distinctive striped pattern on the back. The other one is the Great Barred Frog (Mixophyes fasciolatus) which is not so common and can be distinguished from other Mixophyes spp. by the pale upper lip and reddish/brown iris.

Fuscus thanks again

No worries.

Did AustZoo come get the galah?

Yep - and in the uniform of karki shirt and karki shorrts

Great Barred Frog (Mixophyes fasciolatus) which is not so common

Actually they seem to be very common at least in mountain forest areas. I still get a buzz finding them though

do you see geckos or pink tongued skinks much?

I've seen a few pink tongues but rarely geckos, properly because of the way I spotlight. Next time I have a guest, i'll ensure I have another spotlight

and pygopods yet?

Not yet in QLD, have photoed them in SA though - great animals, especially when they pretend to be a brown snake

thats a mean looking spider

He had a couple of spectacular shots at us

People here are discussing a better photo of another animal I photoed here http://www.the-t-store.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=13800&st=0&#entry92153
