User's notes

A White-faced Heron with this frog, seen through a peep hole near Bittern hide. I just made it to the hide to get a clear view of the frog being swallowed whole in one gulp. Unfortunately could not get any better pics of the frog so ID is best guess. Realize it may not be good enough for an ID to be made but we don't get pics of frogs very often.

Happy it is a Limnodynastes but could also be peronii

@wombey thank you very much for your time and help thought it may be too difficult to narrow it down.
