Home-brewing spectator

Hi all,

I was down in the garage bottling some home brew during the storm last Thursday night, and towards the end I had the feeling that I was being watched. When I looked up this is who I found! (I guess it was attracted by the light... but perhaps it was the smell of Cooper's Ale?!)

It's the first green tree frog I've seen in Brisbane for several years, and I heard it again in the garden this morning, which is nice.

Cheers,
Stephen

Aww tis a cutie, great grab shot. We have a fair few of them around our house. My mum talks to them all the time (and yes, they do respond to her voice).

Nice shot Stephen!

I have heard it said that the presence of frogs is a good barometer of the health
of an ecosystem.

I've been that colour after a touch too much Coopers Ale

I've never seen a frog at my place in the 20 years I've been here. I guess that says a lot about the environment in Sydney.
