I went out the front of our yard after dark, and accompanying the two calling <i>Limnodynastes peronii<\/i> (Striped marshfrog) in the ponds, I found a small juvenile, an adult (both of the same species) and an <i>Adelotus brevis<\/i> (Tusked frog) with quite a large head, but then again that\u2019s nothing odd in this species. We\u2019ve also got four egg foam nests all laid by <i>Limnodynastes peronii<\/i>.
