Spent the holiday season of 2023/24 on a trip to the top end of Australia.
Didn't spend a lot of time recording frogs but I did get to add a few species to my recording lifelist. I am still working my way through my recordings and identifying new choristers so this list will grow hopefully. Some of my IDs are still tentative so I hope to get some feedback through iNaturalist.
Black-shinned Rocket Frog (Litoria tornieri)
Northern Sedge Frog (Litoria bicolor)
Western Laughing Treefrog (Litoria ridibunda) - a newly described species
Fat/Jabiru Toadlet (Uperoleia crassa/arenicola)
Stonemason Toadlet (Uperoleia lithomoda)
Remote Froglet (Crinia remota)
Long-footed Frog (Ranoidea longipes)
Daly Waters Frog (Ranoidea maculosa)
Australian Giant Frog (Ranoidea australis)
Hidden-ear Frog (Ranoidea cryptotis)
Although not a new species, I also got better recordings of another Australian species:
Ornate Burrowing Frog (Platyplectrum ornatum)
I will be adding the species accounts and recordings for those species in the coming weeks as I confirm their IDs.
