Last night at approx 5am-6.30am I was awoken by a series of high pitched calls/whistling which I cannot identify with any birdsong or other fauna like sound I have heard before. This experience has coincided with 2 individual sightings, one by myself and one by my partner of a frog/toad (we're not sure which). Since we have never heard this sound before our first assumption is that the sound and the amphibian are linked. Is this likely? Many thanks Kate and Andrew Battersea, London aclarke1@mac.com

No native amphibian has a high pitched whistling call, but it could be an introduced species. I'm guessing but did it look anything like this? http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/midwife_toad.htm administrator38189.4003935185 Gemma Fairchild, Independent Ecological Consultant
