Join ecologist/zoologist David De Angelis to learn about your local frog species calling in autumn. Find out how to conduct your own monitoring survey using the Melbourne Water Frog Census app.
There will be a special focus on two local species that mainly call in autumn. The Southern Toadlet and Victorian Smooth Froglet both lay their eggs on land before they get inundated weeks later.
The conservation status of the Southern Toadlet was re-assessed from vulnerable in 2013 (DSE 2013) to endangered in 2021 (Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act Threatened List Victoria (DELWP 2021)).
