For a nature sound recordist, all animal voices are good to be harvested. For example the chattering discourse of a passerine bird met in the bush, the sonic tapestry of a morning chorus in a reverberant forest, the unique scream of a mammal that must not be missed or the continuous whispers of a prairie's insects. But amphibians are a specific topic : it is much more to pick up the polyphony of a location. Anuran songs have a surprising diversity (just forget the "Coâ" onomatopoeia) : purring of the Common Frog, tiny flute notes of the Midwife Toad, mooing of the unwanted Bullfrog or even bird calls for Swinhoe's Frog.
