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

[Marnix Zwankhuizen <>]

UNCLASSIFIED

Someone has highlighted to me the possibility of it being Peron’s tree Frog L. peronii.

On listening to it’s call I am starting to think it was more likely this species.

 

Sorry to clog the COG list with this non-avian stuff.

 

Cheers

I am pretty sure now it was a Bleating Tree Frog Litoria dentata. I have checked another great frog website http://www.frogsaustralia.net.au

 

The NPWS Wildlife Atlas also shows this species has been recorded at Yatteyattah NR.

Thanks to those of you who have already responded.

Further to my email. The single call is short 1-2 sec and not repeated immediately. There were at least 3 frogs I heard. The call is made by a frog then the next time it calls is usually >10-20 secs later.

Hope this helps.

 

I have been checking the very useful http://frogs.org.au/frogwatch site without luck so far.

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
