Water Drop Frog
Raorchestes nerostagona

Field Notes
Description:
One rarity that only calls from high tree canopies, calls that echo exactly like a water drop. Since they never come down from the canopies, it was extremely difficult to photograph this while balancing high on a tree branch with a torch and camera. The gushing wind and lashing rains added another difficulty level. Got a video and this shot after almost two hours. Happy with the outcome after all that was put at stake.
Here's the link to the video:
