Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Joe Wylie,
<q>TW the Wikipedia distribution map for NZ looks a bit off to me, as they’re still pretty common in the lower North Island.
Actually, they are the commonest frog *in ANZ* - found throughout most congenial environments throughout the south (including Big O. Where we also have the brown whistling treefrog - poured down a drain in Hokitika by an Aussie goldminer & spread through the south ever since.)

Yup - sounds like a golden bellfrog (one of 3 species of introduced treefrogs.) Males can make 'a tinkling sound', as well as croaking - hence the name.

So good to know such a nourishing place exsists within a city - I ever get north that far, it's on my 'to visit' list! -

Hey! No response necessary - me & my Mum just loved the last parcel! (She got the bright one, I got the white one, and all was very well! And, yep, I'll be there-)
