hi all, i often walk my dog at nurragingy reserve in doonside and after all this lovely rain the wetland area has filled up with water again. the other day i heard some frog calls that sounded like a person clapping in an empty concrete ampitheatre  sorry that's the best way i can think of describing it. i've had a look on frogs.org and it sounds most similar to a spotted or striped marsh frog, but not quite... are there any other species found in western sydney that it could be? |

In all seriousness Im not sure sorry. My guess would have been a Marshie but as youve stated it isnt. |
