Frogs after the rain on the Downs

Finally, we have had some rain at our Patch and don't the frogs love it!  The end of this week we have had 27mls of rain, which is not enough to put any water in our dry creek, but enough to add a green tinge to the bushland grass.  We took a walk at night to see how many frogs we could see and the ones listed below were seen within an hour of walking around our patch.  We were expecting to see more species than what we did, but it was still a great result.  B & J
