Silence

[Dumbastheycome]

Today we  had significant rainfall  for  several hours and a lingering possibility of more.

I notice that now it has almost ceased there is  relative  silence.

Unusual and slightly disconcerting !

There is an absolute  absence of usual wet season  frogs chorusing away !

Silence !

Many people have posted on here how to stop frogs making a racket,

your the first one who misses their mating calls.

There is a friends dog that sometimes spends the night outside my house.
The house is surrounded by a garden and there are fields for the cows / buffalo a few metres away.
When the frogs and toads arrive the dog barks when they move or hovers over them if they don't.

The local people used to catch them and dredge for other swimming edibles, they don't do that now due to the change in rainfall.    Although this area was flooded for the first time in 50+ years on Sept 1st last year.

Plenty of frogs in my area, great fun for the cats who roam around at night. Perhaps the OP's area cats are very successful in catching them?

Frogs don't bother my dog, and vice versa.
