You might be able to find out which species you've got from the information on the FrogWatch website (http://tinyurl.com/7t7zsnk). Or you could talk to Denise at Cockburn Wetlands Centre.

I have seen green, brown and bronze coloured frogs in the garden. How do I find out what the names of these frogs are? None of the frogs croak - surely they can't all be females.

There were: turtles, dragonflies, a surprising amount of water fowl including nesting Swans, and frogs. It was so much fun. I especially loved the Long Necked Turtle.

We saw hundreds of spiders and some Moaning Frogs and a Slender Tree Frog. I learned lots about the different types of frogs and want to buy a good torch to search for wildlife at night.

When we were done grandma had impressions of the goggles on her face. Just when we were leaving we saw at least five Bottle-nosed Dolphins and it was the first time I had ever seen dolphins in my life! When I went to Rottnest Island, on the horizon I saw a Humpback Whale. Yesterday we had a Boobook Owl in the garden. It left us a feather in the birdbath.
