Meggie spotted the Endangered Fleay’s Barred Frog (Mixophyes fleayi) while recording their calls with #FrogID in QLD. Found in patches of suitable habitat across southeast QLD and northern NSW, this striking frog faces threats from the amphibian chytrid fungus and habitat loss.

Frogs are small but mighty - they help keep ecosystems balanced from water to land. Here in Australia, 1 in 5 frogs are at threatened with extinction and at least four species have already gone extinct. Recording frog calls with #FrogID helps fill data gaps to support research 🐸

We love hearing the high-pitched honking call of the Marbled Frog. This recording by Alice from Far North Queensland captures this northern species, which is commonly found across savanna woodlands and grasslands. Its distinctive honks are often heard after wet weather.

Thanks to #FrogID contributors, frogs have now been recorded in 44% of grid cells across Australia. This Northern Spadefoot was submitted by Alice McGlashan from an area of western QLD with no previous frog records. Help us reach over 50% of Australia: frogid.net.au/spatial-covera…

Zahra’s first #FrogID submission was from Cradle Mountain National Park in Tasmania, when it was dusted with snow and Tasmanian Froglets were calling. Thank you for your patience as our team works through a high number of FrogID submissions from across Australia!

A rare sound to capture! Thank you to Samantha for this recent #FrogID submission of Dahl’s Aquatic Frog a species rarely heard calling due to its mostly aquatic lifestyle, heard here alongside Green Tree Frog and Western Desert Tree Frog in the Northern Territory.

It’s #WorldFrogDay! 🐸💚 Behind every #FrogID submission is science in action, from mapping species distributions to tracking environmental health, and helping taxonomists scientifically recognise species that were previously unknown to science. Thanks for making this possible!

A lovely Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog recorded by Belinda in urban Sydney 🌿🐸 They’re one of our tiniest tree frogs and the 5th most recorded species across Australia. Your submissions help us understand long‑term patterns and how frogs are responding to changing environments.
