The Green and Golden Bell Frog is believed to be extinct in the ACT, this would have been one of the last records of the species. It has a very distinctive call and perhaps the optimists amongst us can keep our ears open for it

So is this an old photo? EDIT: Never mind, just saw the "Recorded on" field on the right indicating 1976.

Yes, I have a large collection of slides dating back at least to 1976 which I am down loading as historical records, a few more to go yet but nearly finished!
