Call
The call of these frog is a series of harsh nasal kwe-kwe or wah-wah-wah clucks, repeated at the rate of two per second, much like the quacking of the Egyptian Goose. Males call from concealed positions in grass tussocks at the edge of water on shores of marshes and pans or even several metres away from water. Until vegetation establishes itself after winter, males may call along the water’s edge in completely exposed positions. Calling peakings after dark till about midnight.

Famous quotes containing the word call:
“We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep and still;
The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again, though we may call and call;
The strange white solitude of peace that settles over all.”
—Mary Mapes Dodge (1831–1905)
“What we now call “finance” is, I hold, an intellectual perversion of what began as warm human love.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“We know all their gods; they ignore ours. What they call our sins are our gods, and what they call their gods, we name otherwise.”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)
