SPOTTED TREE-FROG Hypsiboas albopunctatus
A medium-sized tree-frog with a thick, 20 cigarettes a-day voice. Males sing from a low position often hidden amongst bunches of aquatic plants, giving a raspy KRAW KRAW, and continuing to sing late into the year when many other frogs have already given up trying!
