an unknown voice - but distinctive (2 Viewers)

[Michał Jaro]

28 may this year (Podhale Poland) I recorded a voice that was unusual for me. It seems to be a bird, I'm not sure. One good thing can be said about it - very characteristic. The environment is a small forest next to a gravel pit, with many meadows around. What do you think?

 

[CARERY]

Sounds like a yellow-bellied toad. Is that possible in your area?

 

[Jos Stratford]

Agree, but presume European Fire-bellied Toad (Bombina bombina) on range, fairly widespread in Lithuania and Poland

 

[Michał Jaro]

Great!, thanks very much. I was looking for amphibians, but toads didn't come to my mind. both species are here, but this one sounds like a European one.

it's Bombina variegata (Yellow-bellied Toad) like Roland (Carery) already said, rather than Bombina bombina (which occures in lowlands and has a lower pitch and frequency of the single sounds).
