Great stuff. Those green tree frogs are wonderful creatures. We have several that live in various places around the house and appear on our kitchen window sill each night in the warmer months to hunt moths and beetles that are attracted by the lights from the house. Reality television doesn't even come close to this sort of entertainment! We miss the crested shrike tits here. We used to have them but they, and most other small birds, have been displaced by larger, more aggressive species.
