#australia #FrogID #Science #Extinction
In the last FrogID week in November over 34,000 recordings were submitted, recording about 44% of Australia's known species, along with some rarely ever recorded.
My FrodID project contributions results mostly from my house dam and pond behind the house. Some similar in each but many different.
From local pond to outback dunny, Australia’s biggest frog count is here – and researchers need your help
FrogID week aims to collect thousands of recordings of country’s 250 species using smartphone app

Oh, and a non-visual highlight of the walk, was coming across a pair of frogs, hidden under some rocks, happily calling away despite it being around 10 in the morning.
I've sent the recording off to #FrogID to be identified as I have no clue.
G'day world! My name is Regina Huntington (she/her). My personal interests include, in no particular order: wishing I could be a full-time #Landcare volunteer, #Conservation #ClimateSolutions, #Permaculture, #CitizenScience, being a contributor to the fantastic #FrogID project.
I strongly support #FirstNationsRights as an #IndigenousAlly and am keen on learning about #IndigenousKnowledge such as #CulturalBurning e.g. check out the Firesticks Alliance (https://www.firesticks.org.au/), which is going strong where I live in #BegaValley on Djiringanj / Yuin country.
By profession, I'm a freelance software engineer with longstanding interests in #WebStandards #OpenSource #UX / #UserExperience #Accessibility and more recently #AgTech. Hoping to apply these more to my personal interests above.
