Pearson's Green Tree Frogs near Imbil

Last night I went with a friend to look for owls and other night birds just outside of Imbil and we managed to find a few common species but we also heard the Pearson's Green Tree Frogs calling out again. They were calling out at one of the crossings just out of town. These were very different in colour from the Pearson's Green Tree Frogs that we photographed at Charlie Moreland a few weeks ago.

While we were there we also heard one other frog call out twice from not to far into the bush. I have not heard a frog call like that before, so I would be interested in locating it at some point. While we were looking for the Pearson's Green Tree Frogs we noticed many tadpoles in the water. There were many average sized tadpoles in the water but we also saw 15 or more of these very large tadpoles. The body of these tadpoles was about 1 1/2cm across and about 2 1/2 - 3cm long, not counting the tail. I am unsure what type of frog these tadpoles could turn into, to be this size and at this time of year.

There were at least 6 individual frogs calling out in the area. All of the photographs below are of the one specimen. While we were looking around for the Pearson's Green Tree Frogs we noticed these two spiders close together on the stones. Both of these spiders were about 8cm across including their legs.

This is the call of the Pearson's Green Tree Frog near Imbil.

Over the coming weeks I hope to get back out to this site to see if I can hear these other frogs calling out again and hopefully obtain a recording or even a photograph.

More pics and updates when more frogs are photographed and recorded.
