Whip It!

The very first post when I started my blog back in September 2014 was of a fabulous little frog that I had found in the leaf litter on a walk in the New Forest. That was such a happy memory to share and so if you have a moment why not click on the link and have a look.

I find reptiles and amphibians fascinating and great subjects for photography.

This handsome creature is a Denny's Whipping Frog (Rhacophorus dennysi), a type of tree frog found in China, Laos, Burma and Vietnam. Apparently the female lays her eggs in a nest made of foam which is hung from branches or grasses over the water. They're also known as Chinese Flying Frog.

Small and Deadly

In today's blog I have made quite a shift from the big cats of the past few days and gone from mammals to amphibians.

The first four pictures show three different species of poison dart frogs.  They were really tiny and as you can see beautifully coloured.

The final two pictures were tree frogs.  I really like the fifth picture with the frog peering around the branch with its beautiful yellow eye.

In the last picture the frog was squished up against the glass and so it presents a really interesting view of a fascinating creature.
