| About Me | | I'm Brad and I live in Sydney, Australia. (Joined Wikipedia in 2006) One of my main interests is Australian frogs and the environment in general and most of contributions on Wiki will be amphibian related. Although, still only in my schooling years, I have taken photos of over 40 different species of frogs and over 15 different species of tadpoles/spawn (all of which are of Australian frogs with 95% of them taken in NSW). I also have a photo of every species of frog in the Sydney Metropolitan Area. I own 3 Litoria chloris (under a licence of course) and I'm a member of the Frog and Tadpole Study Group (FATS) and would strongly advise anyone that wants to own a pet frog or has an interest in frogs (living in the Sydney area) to become a member of FATS.
| | Scientific Work | | Current Work Previous Work - I was involved with a project on 'Acid Frogs', specifically Litoria freycineti with the Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. We frogged in Dharawal State Conservation Area, Royal National Park, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, Strickland State Forest and Brisbane Water National Park, over 4 nights in November 2005.
- I have surveyed Litoria aurea populations in Sydney at Long Reef Golf Course in September, October and November 2005, Kogarah Golf Course in March 2005, South Kurnell in Janurary 2006 and Sydney Olympic Park (Homebush Bay) in November 2005
- I have done a frog survey near Karuah, NSW Australia.
- I have done a frog survey with National Parks and Wildlife Service in Scheyville National Park, NSW Australia.
| | My Camera | | All the images I upload to Wikipedia I take with my (well my Dad's) Nikon D70. All my frog images I shoot with a Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di Macro 1:1, and other images are shot with either a AF-S DX Nikkor 18-70 mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED or Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED. I also have a Nikon SB-600 Speedlight that I don't use very often. | | Articles | | Helped get to FA status: Cane Toad, Green and Golden Bell Frog Artilces I've Created (16) Cyclorana australis, Spicospina flammocaerulea, Leptopelis vermiculatus, Opisthodon ornatus, Litoria barringtonensis, Litoria bicolor, Litoria brevipalmata, Litoria lorica, Litoria nasuta, Litoria pearsoniana, Megophrys nasuta, Metacrinia nichollsi, Mixophyes balbus, Nyctimystes dayi, Amphibians of Australia, List of Amphibian Families Other contributions | | To-Do | | | | Featured Pictures | |
