Motorbike frog gate crashes wedding

At the family wedding last week this little frog was found trying to check out the wedding preparations.

It is a "motorbike" frog and I discovered that information from the really helpful Climatewatch website. They have some great audio of the frog call. Have a listen and you'll see where the name "motorbike" frog comes from.
