Wow. Thanks.

Can I or can I not record frog calls? The question now becomes urgent. My normal recording method requires mains power and a desktop computer. This tablet won’t start up without an external power source. Etc.

Can I do it without a damn app?

https://news.frogid.net.au/

Dang it. No FAQ. No input without an app. Nowhere to ask for help. Website that links in circles. Had to run through the whole website to find the frog call samples, and not one of those sound samples had a geographic location attached (they all had the sound recorder’s name attached – which is bloody useless).

What I want to do is record calls on video cam, download those to windows desktop, and identify using samples of frog calls recorded on the web.

What is this app supposed to do?

I’ve not looked at the OP link.

You have seen this one, have you moll?

http://frogs.org.au/frogs/

Go to your area. Each frog has description and a sound file of their call.

How do you get to the sound file?

I checked two common frogs (and one rare one) in my area, and can’t see a sound file for any of the three.

Partway down the stuff for the frog. Hang on, I’ll see if I can link.

After you click on the frog you want, it is under “calling”. Should be a link to adobe or something.

Sorry, have to see patient – have a play with it.

Then clicking: “go to the field guide” for each species (clicking the picture only brings up the picture),

I’ve got this one in my backyard. Unfortunately they have sometimes become victims of my garden fork so I tend to avoid digging with it.

In which case it would be this frog. http://frogs.org.au/frogs/species/Limnodynastes/dorsalis/

I’m not here really. Find the motor bike frog in WA. Good fun, that one.

They have some ineresting ones, Trilling frogs, turtle frog.

Oh, no sound link on the motor bike frog.

Here is a youtube…

By the way, if you know the name of the frog you want, you can Google that name and “call” and there’s a good chance something will come up.

• That’s interesting as I hear a great number of them both at my house, friends house and the empty block across the road

Sounds like you might just have tinnitus…

Dry as anything in central Victoria but frogs find a way. They call on humid nights and after rain. A few years ago there was a mini plague of baby ones hopping over roads and getting squashed and eaten in the thousands. No idea where they hide when the ground is rock hard and dry and the days are 37 plus but they manage.

Listening to one frog call after another, I end up not being able to identify any.

Get Missy to lend me her mobile? Possible, but doing that would be rather like swimming across a lake filled with crocodiles.

3 frog ponds. Still “Failed to transfer videos to computer”. Will try for ID later today. The real question is whether frog calls “bomp”, “pock” and “t’ck” are the same frog species.

Ta.

This is more interesting than I thought it would be. Five frog ponds so far in inner suburban Melbourne. That’s more than I expected. Only one frog species per pond. No surprise there. The real shocker is that there’s only one duplicate – five frog ponds and four frog species. I was expecting only one species at best. These habitats are tiny, and very isolated, which makes them extremely fragile.

Of the four frog species, I only have a firm ID on one. The last one, in a culvert under a freeway, with a “creek creek creek creek creek creek creek creek” (or “crk crk crk crk crk crk crk crk crk”) call, definitely isn’t on the list of ten frog species expected in Melbourne.

10 or 11 frog ponds now. Found 2 or 3 new ones today within an hour’s walk of home, which is quite a feat, 4, 5 or 6 species.

Realising that many frogs are nocturnal, went back at night. Whole new ballgame. Average of three frog species at each pond. One call I thought I dreamt during the day turned out to be real, and quite common, like a ticking clock that can’t keep time. Found a new pond. Species ID now all up the creek.
