Field Notes

Description:

Perez's Frog (Pelophylax perezi) is a species of frog in the Ranidae family. It is found in southern France, Portugal, Spain, and two sites in the United Kingdom; in Spain it is very abundant, as evidenced by its Spanish name rana común ("common frog").
Its natural habitats are temperate forests, temperate shrubland, Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, rivers, intermittent rivers, swamps, freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marches, sandy shores, arable land, and urban areas. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN.

Habitat:

Lake

Notes:

At least, I think it's a 'Perez's frog' - Hyngary is not listed as a country.

(Just a thought: I am surprised that there is no International frog watch mission?!)

Thanks :) Not sure I got the ID right, due to Hungary not being mentioned,...
I guess sooner or later they will approach Noah :)
It looks like there's lots of local organizations doing monitoring, and a US government program doing monitoring. Not sure about international though. http://www.nbii.gov/portal/server.pt/community/amphibians/201
I think it's organizations that join up with Noah? Not sure though.
That does seem odd. How do missions get made?
