Logan listens for frog sounds
A night-time adventure will be held next month to see which frog species are hiding in Logan’s parks and natural spaces.
Logan City Council will host a free Park after Dark: Frog Spotting session at the Daisy Hill Conservation Park between 6:30pm and 9:00pm on Friday, November 7.
The session is also part of the Australian Museum’s eighth annual FrogID Week which runs from November 7 to 16.
Using the free FrogID app and a mobile phone, participants can count Australia’s frogs by recording their unique sounds, which range from croaks and barks to whistles and bleats, to help monitor populations and distribution over time and create a better understanding how their ecosystems are responding to a changing planet.
Tickets for the frog spotting session are available through Eventbrite.
