What it lacks in size it makes up in volume: on warm nights, hundreds of males call together from the floating vegetation and the chorus carries far. Finding one singing takes a torch, patience and a sharp eye.
Behaviour
Nocturnal. It climbs grasses and rushes at the water's edge, hunting minute insects.
How and when to see it
