Eventually Camille and I arose and did our usual morning things before going for a wander around our property. To our surprise we found the below swimming around in our swimming pool which I had heavily chlorinated the previous day. It's body is about 6 centimetres in length - is this a good size for a New Zealand frog?
We pulled it out of the pool and gave it it's own unchlorinated rainwater pool with a rock to sit on a good thirty feet away from the pool behind a wall. About half an hour later it was back in the pool. All that chlorine can't be good for it but it seemed to be fairly happy - and quite vocal about it too.
Maybe I let the pool get away on us a bit over winter.
