A little bit of rain last night brought out the frogs.
I am no expert but I think this might be an Eastern Banjo Frog.

  1. What a charmer. It is too long since I have seen a frog.

  3. I've heard of Banjo frogs, but not heard them. I guess their call sounds a bit like a banjo, not my favourite instrument. Frog populations are great canaries in the coal mine for our environment.

    1. I have had it confirmed that it is indeed an Eastern Banjo Frog (the joys of social media!). It has a distinctive "bonk" call, which apparently is like a banjo string being plucked, hence the name.

      We hear a lot of frogs at night. They are very loud but a delight to listen to. I don't often see them though.

    1. The sharp eyes are not mine... I would have nearly stepped on him had not Phil pointed him out to me.
