I haven't posted on the frogs for a while. We've had a wet winter, but it's also been quite cool, and they've been very quiet. Could also be that the ducks have discovered the frog pond every so often and they've been scared!

Tonight I stood outside and for the first time this winter heard a single spotted marsh frog call, from the pond. Listening closer, I realised I could hear a lot of frog calls, coming from the direction of Manangatang. I could make out spotted marsh frog, spadefoot toad and pobblebonk. It must be noisy in there! Weird that we aren't hearing more here. The dam has been full of water all winter, and now it's nice and clear fresh water (not the greywater). Maybe they liked the anonymity of the greywater? Actually the pond has also become quite clear. 

The greywater is currently running into the big dry dam next door, and has created a frog habitat par excellence. Lots of grass and a cascade of ponds as the greywater spills down and infiltrates. There must be some there now.
