i have searched high and low through my archives, Connor, I do have
frog sounds from introduced species in New Zealand that i have
recorded but none fit the cap of your recording. It is difficult to
identify an underwater frog sound as not many audio field guides
include underwater sounds. I do believe its a frog though. My
suggestion is to go to the pond in the day and wait for some kind of
action/movemwnt and try to identify what's around?
Sorry i can't help any further...
