Frog of the month has mighty call – for its size

Key points

• The Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog has been named October's frog of the month. It is found along eastern Australia and is very common within its range.
• Growing up to 2.5 centimetres, the frog makes a sharp, loud call for its size. It is usually found around ponds or swamps with plenty of reeds or sedge.
• A photographer spotted a male basking on a Lomandra bush beside the duck pond at the University of Wollongong, and in spring has counted up to 20 frogs in that single bush.
