| Rainbow Toad from BBC website |
This is a Rainbow Toad, only recently found after a 90-year long game of hide and seek with a group of scientists who had dedicated their time to finding this one toad. The photo is from the BBC nature news website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/14151541
Unfortunately, it was not I who trekked through the ridges of the Gunung Penrissen range of Western Sarawak to find this amphibian, but it was I who managed to sneak the following close-up of one of the many beautiful little frogs here at The Old Farm. You may not think this to be such an achievement, but it was somewhat of an unexpected challenge, since these frogs appear to be terrified of me and me alone. Anyway, this is my achievement for the day, an achievement which took a considerable length of time lying dead still and hiding behind the ridge of the pond until the frogs deemed me to be far enough away to come back up again. I was rather proud.
Unfortunately, the sound of the frogs diving into the water still greets me when I deign to even look at the pond.
