In a suburban fish pond. One of two frogs that appeared during the summer and chosen the edge of the pond for a daytime resting place, and vanishing at night - presumably out hunting. Can be seen most days, usually one of them, sometimes both, but always the same individuals. They seem unbothered by the comings and goings of people walking by.

The Green and Golden Bell Frog (Litoria aurea), also named the Green Bell Frog, Green and Golden Swamp Frog and Green Frog, is a ground-dwelling tree frog native to eastern Australia. Despite its classification and climbing abilities, it does not live in trees and spends almost all of its time close to ground level. It can reach up to 11 centimetres (4.3 in) in length, making it one of Australia's largest frogs. the frog remains abundant in New Zealand and several other Pacific Islands, where it has been introduced.
