Wow a SOTD first up. Congrats. I think he's had his croaker in a mud bath.

Congratulations David, your beautiful White-lipped tree frog has earned you your first Spotting of the Day: "Can you hear me? Great details of the vocal sac of this male White-lipped tree frog (Litoria infrafrenata), our Spotting of the Day! Most male frogs possess a flexible skin membrane known as vocal sac, the main purpose of which is to amplify their mating or advertisement call. Litoria infrafrenata is the world's largest tree frog, and is native to Northern Queensland in Australia, New Guinea, the Bismarck Islands, and the Admiralty Islands. The males can be heard calling during spring and summer after rain".

Great details on the vocal sac! Excellent shot. You may want to correct spelling for Daintree :-) Welcome to Project Noah David!
