After a few months admiring the pictures being posted on this forum, its time for my first post.

To introduce myself, I am a PhD student at Cardiff University, studying the impact of climate change on northern wheatear. My first field trip is next Monday - to Ghana, which should be good for photo opportunities!

This shot is one I took last year while working in the Kilombero Valley, Tanzania. Its a reed frog, from the complicated Hyperolius viridiflavus group, form reesi.
