Frogs
Frogs belong to a group of animals called amphibians. All Australian amphibians are frogs. There are about 4000 frog species worldwide and Australia has 208 frog species; many of these are endemic - that is, they are found nowhere else in the world. Frogs play a key role in many food webs, both as predators and as prey.

well done and thanks for keeping an eye out for these satellite ponds, which will hopefully turn into a game changer for frogs worldwide! Too early to tell re spawn and I agree with you_ most likely Lim tas as they are mighty active currently, along with Lim peronii and a few add crinias. big smiles AnkeMaria

Frog spawn at elevated pool MAW3 beside Mawson Pond. From the noise at the sedimentation pond they are probably Limnodynastes tasmaniensis.

Those two stripes down the back are known among frog people as "ewingii" stripes, locally diagnostic for this group of frogs. Locality would suggest verreauxii but to confirm the black spots in the hidden thigh area would have been helpful.
