      Super exciting

      Posted on November 8, 2008 18:47 by Ben

      We had 17mm rain yesterday, no frog calls beforehand and I was wondering whether we might hear anything afterwards. Nothing last night (that I heard). Tonight, the pobblebonk is calling but most exciting is that he's calling from the pond. We've only previously heard the pobblebonk in the dam. So that's very exciting - we can now confirm two species of frogs in the pond!

      On species, we have some variation among our tadpoles. The small ones have developed arms, but the bigger ones are yet to develop arms! I thought it might have worked the other way around. Either there is some serious variation among a generation of tadpoles, or there were in fact two generations of different species.

      I made a recording of the pond pobblebonk in celebration. The full version is on the sounds page. The clip begins (I think) with the frog jumping into the water. There are then progressively louder calls.
