Usually found associated with permanent water. In slow-moving
streams, swamps, marshes, dams and ponds. It even thrives in suburbia in small
decorative garden ponds. It's call is a single loud 'toc' like a hammer striking
an anvil, repeated every few seconds, often in daylight hours. Eggs are laid in
a white frothy mass on top of water amongst vegetation. The eggs are guarded by
the male.
