As promised, I recorded some frogs calling last week. While it’s a little hard to hear, you can make out the calls.
Listen to the recording below:
What type of frog is calling?
If you’re unsure check out http://frogs.org.au/frogs/of/Victoria/ to listen to the calls of different species of frogs.
I tried to listen, but found it impossible to distinguish frog sounds – maybe I just need to train my ear to the right sounds.
You’re right Alex. It is hard to hear. Make sure you have your volume up high. After the crunching gravel noises, listen to the ‘pock’ noises.
Nice recording Janine. There are two species calling – the one which gives the single loud ‘tok’ is a Spotted Marsh Frog. In the background is a second frog, the high-pitched ‘eeeek’ call is a Plains Froglet.
Let’s hope they are all breeding and producing lots more froggies.
