Thread: Any frog or toad 'ologists'?

I'm not a herpetologist but I've found the frogs.org.au website is pretty helpful when trying to id frog calls. They have good regional guides which helps narrow the contenders down:

Frogs of Australia > Victoria > The frogs of The Goldfields

It looks most like a pobblebonk - the sac at the corner of the mouth and the banding on the flanks don't seem to match anything else.



The calls are a really good indicator of what is present in a specific spot. There is short recording halfway down the page below of the Pobblebonk call.

Frogs of Australia > Limnodynastes dumerili / Eastern Banjo Frog / Pobblebonk

hope this helps

Sorry for poor pic, the best I could do at night with my phone

Always a good indication you have a healthy backyard.

Eastern Banjo Frog Limnodynastes dumerilii. Also known as Pobblebonk. Plenty of info on the web. Just Google the scientific name.
