Meet Kermit

Yesterday, while weeding the vege garden something larger than an insect sort of jumped out of the undergrowth. What I saw, sitting on a lump of dirt about half a metre in front of me, was a frog!

It was small and brownish. We looked a each other for a few minutes then I slowly moved, and then ran inside to get the camera. When I came back the frog had gone.

I did some research on the net and using this site I worked out that I had seen a tree frog.I borrowed one of their photos, my frog was more uniform in colour though.

Tree frogs usually hang out in the foliage around steams and ponds. We do have a stream on our property but it’s a good 5 metres from the vege garden. I think seeing a frog is a hint that I need to do some work on the drainage.
