Night Visitor . . .

. . . I was on the phone when Mrs. B. asked me what was stuck to the large window over our front door. At first, it looked like a tidy green package that may have been left by one of the birds that try to nest in our eaves.

Closer inspection revealed some little feet. By the time I retrieved my camera he was gone, but I found him outside clinging to the trim. I suspect it's a type of H. cinerea.

That's not a good place for him to be! I'm assuming there are a lot of predators that would bless their luck to see him nicely uncamouflaged against the colour the building. It's amazing to think how high up that is for him in terms of scale although if he really is a tree frog I guess he's probably born with a head for heights. The sticky feet must help too.

All our frogs over here are very much ground-crew with mountaineering not at all on their agenda - they are also mostly confined to a drab muddy khaki colour, nothing as iridescent as him.
