Metallic Carpenter Bee? commented on by ShannaB Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia10 years ago

Yeah. Nath and I are both really leaning towards bee, but honestly, neither of us really have any idea.

Wow, that thing looks like an ecosystem all on its own.

White-necked Heron commented on by ShannaB Lismore, New South Wales, Australia10 years ago

NICE shot. The scientific name for this bird is Ardea pacifica (http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/...).

Unknown spotting commented on by ShannaB New South Wales, Australia10 years ago

Nice shots. I think you can safely say Litoria sp. but I can't tell if it's a Red-eyed Tree Frog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litoria_chl...) or a Dainty Tree-Frog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dainty_gree...). According to Wikipedia they are closely related and difficult to tell apart. The main difference is the yellow stripe from nostril to behind the eye on dainty tree frogs... but I'm still not willing to call it either way!

Pobblebonk commented on by ShannaB Adelaide, South Australia, Australia10 years ago

I agree with Mark's diagnosis of Pobblebonk (Limnodynastes dumerili). According to the Frogs of Australia website, there are only six types of frog in your area so the list of suspects is short. I think Pobblebonk is a pretty safe bet. http://frogs.org.au/frogs/ofSA/Clare_Val...
