Calling

According to Anstis and Littlejohn( 1996), the call is a series of moderately low-pitched notes ("orak-orak-orak..."), varying in speed, accelerating at first then slowing after climax. Daytime calling is common during the October/November breeding season, typically from under rocks and crevices and from within vegetation. At night males may be found calling from perched positions on trees and shrubs approximately 0.5-1.5m above streams.
