Frogs are striking up a chorus in the state’s central west, taking advantage of wet weather and environmental flows to hatch a new generation. Breeding activity has been detected at multiple sites in the Macquarie Marshes following three years of drought, with frogs heard calling for mates throughout the wetland system. Frogs are a positive indicator of wetland recovery and are a critical part of the wetland food chain. They can respond quickly to water flows and their huge numbers make them a significant source of food for turtles, snakes and birds.
