The frogs love all that rain, but it was a bit more than expected. You had double the amount of us, we had 85 mm.

A couple of Barred Frogs from Main Range National Park last night. The first of the endangered Fleay's Barred Frog (Mixophyes fleayi), which was the reason for the trip. This is a new native Queensland frog species for me (#26)

And the second is the more common Great Barred Frog (Mixophyes fasciolatus) from the same creek bed.

Frog season is coming to an end here in South East Queensland, but we had almost 100mm rain this week which got the frogs out again. Here are a few images...
