not about birds - Bleating Tree Frog in Ainslie

[Susanne Gardiner <>]

Now, that is interesting. I logged into my email to ask about what I recorded last night in Kangaroo Valley while lying in my tent and listening to the rain and find this email.

The calling started just before sunset and either they moved very fast or there where quite a few of them (at least 7-10 different locations/trees). This was on my friends' property along Mount Scanzi Road. 

The file was recorded on my android phone, should only be 57kb and is a .amr format.

I assume it's also the Bleating Tree Frog. 

Kind regards,

Susanne

Stephanie Haygarth has kindly drawn my attention to this story on the ABC about Bleating Tree Frog’s recent discovery in Victoria, including recordings of the call.

Thanks Steph!

Thought this may interest some. The unmistakeable, very loud and persistent call of Litoria dentata was coming from the adjacent Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve last night. Not supposed to be found in Canberra as far as I know, but they are common on the south coast and could easily be transported here accidentally, which I would guess is how this one may have arrived.

Annoyingly I have been unable to find a call recording online, but if you have Ederic Slater’s ACT and se NSW frog calls CD or Dave Stewart’s CD Australian frog calls – subtropical east, it is on those.
