The Green Visitors to Locheil

 Easter 2021

On my arrival at Locheil, for a  reunion with my cousins, I was welcomed by Cousin Robert. Once the car was unpacked, he mentioned to me that there were other visitors to the farm and he hoped I didn't mind. 

He suggested I follow him and instead of wallking to the verandah, Robert opened the door to the bathroom / toilet.

I was thrilled to meet his guests. On this evening, 12 lovely green frogs were resting in various corners of both rooms. Alas, they are messy but "Locheil' is still very happy to have their presence. From about sunset until 10 pm they gradually make their way to the open window and go hunting for insects. I never actually saw them moving, but as you will see in the following images, I did find them resting in new locations, each time I went to check. On waking around 6 am each morning, they were back. Day three and four, there were only 9 and 8.

I loved how they snuggle up in the ceiling corner.

This gorgeous fellow was nearly knocked off his perch. I didn't see him as I shut the door, until the last minute. [3 pics]

This is the little fellow in the above image.

Fifteen species of Australian frogs are endangered, but thankfully not the green frog. Their numbers have been flourishing in suburbia since the February heavy falls. I haven't seen any at my home, so it was just beautiful to see them here at Locheil.

I would love to read your comment.
