Mixophyes balbus habitat

A creek on the Timbarra Plateau, New South Wales - habitat of the Stuttering Barred Frog (Mixophyes balbus).

 

While normally inhabiting rainforest, at higher elevations the Stuttering Barred Frog also occurs in heathy montane woodlands and open forest where it breeds in brisk flowing streams. I found several individuals calling from this section of stream, and this was the first time I had encountered this species in habitat other than rainforest.
