RFI Frog Call at Yatteyattah (NSW) [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Marnix Zwankhuizen <>]

UNCLASSIFIED

Hi all,

 

I have been meaning to ask whether anyone can help me to id a frog call I heard along a dry creek bed in Yatteyattah NR (near Milton, SE NSW) on 7 March 2009.

At first I thought it was my stomach making noises then when I got closer it was coming from the rocky muddy slope of the creek bed. This is in dry, subtropical rainforest.

From a distance the short call sounds like a chainsaw almost. The call duration is quite short, maybe no more than a second or two.

 

I would be grateful if anyone could give me some clue as to the species involved.

 

Thanks

 

Marnix
