Looking For Love On A Hot Summer’s Night

Our motorbike frogs had high hopes over the summer. They were trying to attract a mate to share their yard and ponds.

We’ve got two ponds at the moment. One has a permanent community of gambezia and native perch. The other pond has a selection of koi and goldfish. We have two three year old motorbike frogs we bred ourselves from collected tadpoles at the school pond. We also have recently emerged motorbike frog babies.

The frogs inhabit the whole yard including both ponds. Now and then they will even have a dip in the swimming pool. The more mature frogs like to hang out near the back door which we like to think is their way of saying hello. These frogs started calling last November and continued until about January. It is such a lovely sound.

During the summer nights we sit out by the pool with our visitors. Suddenly the frogs will start up and everyone goes quiet listening to them. It makes the night something special.

I don’t think the frog calling attracted a mate because we haven’t seen any new comers or tadpoles. Maybe next summer. For our frogs and our family it is something to look forward to!
