BIBRON'S TOADLET

I meant to post this earlier... A couple of weeks ago, when amongst Old Argyle Road's closed banksia forest (where termite mounds meet wombat holes) hoping to flush a Spotted Quail-thrush or Common Bronzewing, I lifted up a piece of fallen timber and discovered a Bibron's Toadlet, an amphibian I've never seen before. It reminded me of the Red-crowned Toadlet, which, in the late 90s, I used to find from time to time, after dark, near The Sphinx in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, northern Sydney.
