Microhyla fissipes tadpoles - rescued from puddle

Louis has an excellent idea! Here you go Numpty: http://www.frogforum.net/photo-month...ne-2013-a.html. Load up a good quality version of that photo and you are in. Don't forget to include the tadpole's species name. Don't know al the rules, but as long as it is your photo, you can enter it.

I also used the "luck" technique when photographing my fish. Prefocus on an area and wait... then take lot's of pics and hope for the best! Right now I'm looking at 2 camera's by Fuji. The "cheaper" X20 comes with a zoom lens that has some sweet macro capabilities focusing down to 1 cm. ; very tempting .

Just an update. Following torrential rain, all tadpoles were released on Saturday in puddles the size of lakes. They'll probably dry off again if the weather stays sunny, but with any luck the tadpoles will have matured by then.

I released the froglets today. Being a species that prefers to stay hidden under the leaf litter, I hadn't actually seen them for a few days, and was wondering what I'd find when I went poking around. Well, they were both there, and both looking healthy and frisky enough.

A couple of photos after I let them go in their new surroundings.



Good luck to them both!
