This week’s @ConservationUon spotlight:

@DeanLenga, a keen herpetologist and PhD candidate with @ConservationUon & @Uni_Newcastle monitoring and developing recovery steps to help the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog, Litoria aurea

[Dean Lenga @DeanLenga]

@OlliKelly Oh no!

[Dean Lenga @DeanLenga]

@KayaKlop @ConservationUon Nothing to do with the office being 500°C 😂

[Dean Lenga @DeanLenga]

@alex_rogers_cs @OpenAcoustics Oh great! Can't wait to use the feature.

Nothing like social distancing myself by being out at some wetlands looking for frogs. #frogging #OZWild

@sawsharkman Steven Spielberg next big movie idea!

I know this might be a suprise, but the most dangerous thing I find when doing field work...is when frogs attack! 🐸💢 #frogs #OzWild

[Dean Lenga @DeanLenga]

What a great week of frogging! Huge range of species all calling after all the #rain 🐸 #frogs #OzWild #wetlands

[Dean Lenga @DeanLenga]

I wasn't the only one looking for frogs in the ponds last night 🐍🐸 #OzWild #frogging #snakes

[Dean Lenga @DeanLenga]

Nothing like trying to film some calling action and only getting a case of stage fright 😶. Great to see and hear so many Litoria aurea out after all this #rain!! #WildOz

What’s that coming over the hill?

Is it a wombat joey?!

It certainly is!

It’s now more important than ever to monitor Australia’s #frogs.

Great range of animals spotted when frogging last night after the rain we got! #WildOz #frogging @BiologyUon

[Dean Lenga @DeanLenga]

Even for a endangered species, this juvenile really seems like its got a leg-up from the rest. #Xfrog #frogs #3rdarm #WildOz

[Dean Lenga @DeanLenga]

My wetlands sure looked like they needed the rain last week, thankfully we got it! Can't wait to see all the Litoria Aurea enjoying the wet weather! #WildOz #frog

[Jodi Rowley @jodirowley]

It's rained in large parts of #Australian where the frogs are incredibly poorly-known!

Please get out there and record your local frog calls with the free #FrogID app! Help understand & conserve our #frogs!

Great final day yesterday in #Dunedin for the #WHC9. Been a blast presenting my research and visiting the @NZEcosanctuary!
