Hi

Thank you for the photo - what a great list this is, so helpful and pleasant. I guess this would be the 'one' then as suggested. I don't imagine, given their proximity to one another, that the wildlife in Sri Lanka (where I was born incidentally, but irrelevantly) and India are much different. Since it was clearly mating and courtship that we witnessed this would explain the lovely vibrant yellow colour of the males. Thanks again.

It was a great trip and I saw lots of other animals that might raise the pulse on this list including monitor lizards, python, agamas and more frogs and toads than you can shake a stick at.. here's three reptiles...

i came across something similar in india also.
the frog i saw was much bigger than 10cm though, roughly about 25-30cm.
it was lying at the edge of a village pond in the sun.
i remember visiting india whilst a young lad, and seeing frogs everywhere.
i have rarely seen many on more recent trips though.
this is probably due to the over use of insecticides on crops.
a lot of other wildlife seems to be dwindling there also - bats, lizards, insects, vultures, etc
however i visited my in-laws house there during late september.
this is the time of year when rice is planted and grown in fields.
the house i was staying in was full of little toadlets jumping around the bedrooms, living rooms and kitchen.
no-one seemed to think anything of it though.
