This video captures the sensation and disorientation of moving through Pampas (00:25) and Typha (00:40) grass. It was a particularly windy and smoky day with lots of flying insects.

I learnt that although Bell Frogs could be literally found anywhere from the water to high up on tree branches, they are regularly spotted on Typha (or Bullrush) grass.

Over the course of the survey, I occasionally heard researchers and volunteers making a deep “Wuappppp -wup-wup-wup-wup” call then they would listen to hear if any male Green and Golden Bell frogs would respond with their own calls. At 2:15min, you can hear a chorus of human frog calls.

At 03:20min, you see a Peron’s Tree Froglet in metamorphosis. It still has the remnant tadpole tail.

At 04:24min, a Green and Golden Bell frog is spotted sitting in the water.

At 04:40min, another Green and Golden Bell frog is being released back to the spot where it was initially found.

Both of these are male Green and Golden Bell Frogs, note the darker coloured nuptial pads on the top of their thumbs.
