European Tree Frogs-Hyla arborea
Went out to photograph European Tree Frogs together with my good friend and co UKNP member Paul Ashton today and we had a blast. Usually i have to look for an our or two to even find the Tree Frogs but this time we found 3 within 5 minutes.
This little chap though he'd like to see the view from on top of it's fathers head...reminds me of my son... :biggrin:

European tree frogs? So are these in the Netherlands? Fine shot, like the way they're stacked.

I suspect it is more likely male/female than father/son, in which case the male has a lot to learn sitting in that position. Great picture, I might have positioned the frogs a tad more centrally as the lower frog appears to be looking out of the picture, or would be if that leg wasn't in the way!

Stacking photos is one thing but stacking frogs is quite another.. LOL! Something different and probably has good commercial appeal. Well executed Jeroen and I hope to get some more of these myself later in the year.
