Went outside a couple mornings ago looking for something to capture... Lifted a couple of things and saw the whistling frogs scatter, and it hit me that we have quite a lot of whistling frogs on island that I could be photographing. I think I'll try to do this a bit more, instead of just lizards :)
The Lesser Antillean Whistling Frog (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) is the most common frog within the Eastern Caribbean. It is also known as Johnstone’s Tree Frog, named after Robert Johnstone, the Chief Justice of Grenada who helped discover the first specimens. http://www.dcnanature.org/lesser-antillean-whistling-frog-2/
These are called whistling frogs because they... whistle. This sound is embedded into our psyche. When traveling it sometimes becomes difficult to sleep without this noise which is constant almost wherever you are in the island, but especially in the countryside.
Here are the shots:
