Popular TV Personality,  Ruud Kleinpaste – aka “The Bugman”, visits the Catlins. 

 

Popular TV One personality, Ruud Kleinpaste, known for his acclaimed TV show, “The Bugman”, made a Whistle Stop tour, so to speak,  of the Whistling Frog habitat near the Catlins, Whistling Frog Cafe on Wednesday 21st January.

 

He was on his way to Riverton and mentioned that he was excited to see how the cafe, owned by Paul and Lynn Bridson,  were preserving the habitat of this rare little frog.

He said that he hadn’t been to the Catlins in about five years and was excited to see that there are conservation efforts to preserve these frogs which have been decimated by a virulent frog fungus in many parts of New Zealand.

 

Paul is hoping to work with Mr Phil Burgess,  the frog specialist,  at Otago University, to build an interactive exhibit, at the cafe as many guests are intrigued by their froggie inhabitants and want to see an adult frog, which are extremely small and reclusive.
