With my eyes tending to gaze skyward, frogs are a rare occurrence on the Natural Newstead blog. Not so in our local landscape, where a delightfully wet winter and early spring has triggered a wonderful amphibian chorus. One of the most common local stars is the Pobblebonk, or Eastern Banjo Frog Limnodynastes dumerili.
I found this handsome specimen in an unfortunate spot, under a pile of dumped building materials, beside Spring Hill Track.
Interesting to see one. They must be having a good winter/spring as I’ve heard them calling loudly in several spots including the You-Yangs recently.
