Brilliant Kurt. Always amazed how you find these, especially when on a night hunt and especially when they are that well camouflaged!

Don't know why you are trying to make us look like fools (successfully done it to above peeps) there is no frog in the last one lol

Great Camo don't know how you spotted it.

Brilliant Kurt... i know who to call whenever I come over that way. You are a master on animal hunting at night.

Thanks, Graham. Hmm...both 3 and 5 look okay on my cheap but calibrated Acer lappy's display. I use Spyder2Express for display calibration.

Wonderful set, I especially like the first two

Thank you, Rob.

Thanks, Carl. Bingo. The frog's head is the other way though, i.e the head of the fish is the vent of the frog.

Thanks, Timmy. It's actually easier to spot them at night with the help of a good torchlight/flashlight.
