Black-spotted Rock Frog (Stuarois natator) - Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
These frogs were cool in that they utilized several different habitats from what I saw. During the day I saw them on rocks near very small to large streams in fairly calm areas as well as sitting on rocks surrounded by cascades. Then during the night these frogs would take to the trees and I would see them above ground on vegetation and saplings sometimes as far as 2 meters above the ground. This is one of the few species of frog in Borneo that is diurnally active however I did see several of them active at night on atleast one occasion, in some of the areas that these frogs are day active in the closely related Rock Skipper Frog (Staurois latopalmatus) replaces them during the night.

Cretan Frog (Pelophylax cretensis) - Κρητικός Βάτραχος.
As seen, in captivity, at the Natural History Museum of Crete.
This is a species of green water frog, endemic to the island of Crete.
I found this very small toad how I was walking in the middle of the jungle. It was amazing to see how good is its ability to blend into the dry leaves of the ground.
Eco- Portal de Piedra is a private nature reserve that protects a great diversity of species.
We spotted just a few Marsh Frogs sunbathing at RSPB Rainham Marshes this morning, but most to them hopped away into the water as soon as they saw the camera! This fella however was more obliging! No sound of them singing yet though!
Frog - It must be spring, the frogs are getting frisky in my pond. This one was very brave and didn't disapear under the water when I approached.
All my frogs are here:-

Frogs in a swampy area, around the eggs. The photo was taken on Primotar 135/3, 5 and canon extender 2x
Well the frogs are about in the garden so I guess spring is really here. This little creature certainly looks in great shape
As for the new Flickr….. well to be fair they have addressed many of the issues around functionality that people raised with them. I think users need to give it a try for a while before they abandoned ship. I actually think the new photo page looks OK and you can see images full size and the image quality is good. Having said that for the next four weeks I will stay in the old mode by using the French version. I am in countdown mode for retirement and for a trip to the USA and consequently I am very busy. So I will make a fresh start when I get back to England when finally I may have more time
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
De boomkikker of Europese boomkikker (Hyla arborea) is de bekendste Europese kikker uit de familie boomkikkers (Hylidae).
De boomkikker komt voor in een groot deel van Europa en is de enige soort uit de familie boomkikkers die voorkomt in België en Nederland. De kikker leeft op open zonbeschenen plekken in relatief dicht begroeide en vrij vochtige biotopen in de buurt van water. Het is een boombewonende soort die zich ophoudt tussen het gebladerte. Het voedsel bestaat uit verschillende ongewervelden zoals insecten en de kikker heeft diverse vijanden zoals vogels en zoogdieren. De boomkikker wordt in een deel van zijn verspreidingsgebied bedreigd door uiteenlopende menselijke activiteiten.
De lichaamslengte is ongeveer 4 tot 5 centimeter, de boomkikker is van alle West-Europese kikkers te onderscheiden door de egale lichtgroene kleur op de rug en de relatief gladde huid zonder wratten zoals padden of langwerpige klierlijsten op de rug zoals veel echte kikkers. De boomkikker is tevens de enige soort in de Benelux waarvan de vingers en tenen hechtschijven dragen
another snap from my 'shore shoot'...i was hanging over the bank of the pond with my camera, hence the interesting angle of this portrait
I visited the top of Haworth moor today, (Bronte country) did you see Wuthering Heights; it was just like that, dark moody clouds. The wind blowing a gale and about to rain. I was determined to get a shot of something, so I wound the iso up to 6400, to bag this Frog!
Copper-cheeked frog (Hydrophylax chalconotus)
Hydrophylax chalconotus is a species of frog in the Ranidae family. It is endemic to Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marches, plantations, rural gardens, irrigated land, and seasonally flooded agricultural land. Formerly known as Rana chalconota, that taxon was applied to what is today named Hydrophylax raniceps. In the 1990s, it became generally agreed that Hydrophylax raniceps applied to specimens in northern and western Sumatra, Peninsula Malaysia and Borneo. Hydrophylax chalconota's range is limited to Southern Sumatra, Java and Bali (From Wikipedia article Hydrophylax_chalconotus)
Other names: Chalcorana chalconota,Hydrophylax chalconotus,Hylarana chalconota,Rana chalconota (Schlegel, 1837),Schlegel's Java frog,Schlegel's frog,copper-cheeked frog

Philautus sp. - Danum Valley, Malaysia
This is an interesting find, when I first saw it from a distance I thought it was a Kurixalus appendiculatus, however as I approached I could see that I was mistaken. I was at a loss as to what it could be, but I knew that I had never seen one before. After consulting a variety of field guides and sources I was still not completely sure. I was convinced it was a Philautus of some sort and it resembled several species but wasn't quite a match for any. I got the opinion of someone who is better acquainted with the frogs of the area who told me that it is definitely related to either bunnitus or kerangae and I was told that a similar frog had been found in one of the other lowland tropical forests in Sabah, but its still unclear as to what it is.
