A cross-eyed frog

I found the this little charmer sitting on our deck early in the morning.
From the swollen toe pads it is a tree frog.  The cross-shaped iris makes it a Peron's Tree Frog.  This species is best known for its maniacal-laugh call during the breeding season..

One of my favourite Frogs, Martin. Possibly just because it is a survivor. Though this year it is probably having a great time.

The "Emerald Potted Tree Frog" (one of its other names) has spots, but I don't ever see them as emerald spots.
I once had one on a window, so I only saw its underside, but yellow inner thighs and some black spots turned out to be diagnostic.
Cheers
